Proverbs 20:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵ There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
But ^(A)the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

^16 (B)Take the garment of one who is surety for a stranger,
And hold it as a pledge when it is for a seductress.

^17 (C)Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
