Proverbs 20:17-19

Modern English Version

¹⁷ Bread of deceit is sweet to a man,
    but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.

¹⁸ Every purpose is established by counsel,
    and with good advice wage war.

¹⁹ He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;
    therefore do not meddle with him who flatters with his lips.
