Proverbs 20:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.

¹⁶ Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.

¹⁷ The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
