Proverbs 20:12-15
New International Version
12 Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the Lord has made them both.(A)
13 Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;(B)
stay awake and you will have food to spare.
14 “It’s no good, it’s no good!” says the buyer—
then goes off and boasts about the purchase.
15 Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
