Proverbs 20:14-16

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁴`Bad, bad,' saith the buyer, And going his way then he boasteth himself.

¹⁵Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, [are] lips of knowledge.

¹⁶Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

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)
