Proverbs 20:13-15

New King James Version

¹³^(A)Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;
Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

¹⁴“It is ^[a]good for nothing,” cries the buyer;
But when he has gone his way, then he boasts.

¹⁵There is gold and a multitude of rubies,
But ^(B)the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Proverbs 20:13-15

New International Version

¹³Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;^(A)
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.

¹⁵Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.
