Proverbs 27:11-13

King James Version

¹¹My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

¹²A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.

¹³Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

Proverbs 27:11-13

¹¹Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart;^(A)
then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.^(B)

¹²The prudent see danger and take refuge,
but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.^(C)

¹³Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.^(D)
