Revised Standard Version
14 “It is bad, it is bad,” says the buyer;
but when he goes away, then he boasts.
15 There is gold, and abundance of costly stones;
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
16 Take a man’s garment when he has given surety for a stranger,
and hold him in pledge when he gives surety for foreigners.
