Proverbs 20:14-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 “It’s worthless, it’s worthless!” the buyer says,
but after he is on his way, he gloats.
15 There is gold and a multitude of jewels,
but knowledgeable lips are a rare treasure.(A)
16 Take his garment,[a]
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.(B)
