Proverbs 20:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ There is gold, and there are plenty of rubies.
    But lips that speak knowledge are a priceless jewel.

¹⁶ Take the coat of one who puts up money for what a stranger owes.
    Hold it until you get paid back if it is done for an outsider.

¹⁷ Food gained by cheating tastes sweet.
    But you will end up with a mouth full of gravel.
