Proverbs 20:15-17

New Life Version

¹⁵ There is gold and many stones of great worth, but the lips of much learning are worth more.

¹⁶ Take a man’s coat when he has given himself as trust for what a stranger owes. And hold him to his promise when he gives himself as trust for what the people from other lands owe.

¹⁷ Bread a man gets by lying is sweet to him, but later his mouth will be filled with sand.
