Proverbs 20:15-17
Names of God Bible

15 There are gold and plenty of jewels,
    but the lips of knowledge are precious gems.
16 Hold on to the garment of one who guarantees a stranger’s loan,
    and hold responsible the person who makes a loan on behalf of a foreigner.
17 Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
    but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
