Proverbs 20:15-17

Young's Literal Translation

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.

¹⁷Sweet to a man [is] the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled [with] gravel.

Proverbs 20:15-17

New International Version

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)

¹⁷Food gained by fraud tastes sweet,^(C)
but one ends up with a mouth full of gravel.^(D)
