Proverbs 20:15-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
15 There is gold, and there are many gems,[a]
but lips that have knowledge are a precious vessel.
16 Take the garment from someone who guarantees a loan for a stranger.
Hold on to it when he offers it as collateral for a foreigner.
17 Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
Footnotes
