Proverbs 20:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴It is worthless, it is worthless! says the buyer; but when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].

¹⁵There is gold, and a multitude of pearls, but the lips of knowledge are a vase of preciousness [the most precious of all].^(A)

¹⁶[The judge tells the creditor] Take the garment of one who is security for a stranger; and hold him in pledge when he is security for foreigners.

Proverbs 20:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴“It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.

¹⁵Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

¹⁶Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge^(A) if it is done for an outsider.^(B)
