Proverbs 20:12-17

¹²The Lord made our ears to hear and our eyes to see.

¹³If you love sleeping you'll become poor. Wake up and get busy, and you'll have plenty to eat.

¹⁴“It's really rubbish,” says the one buying, but afterwards goes and boasts to others about making a good deal.

¹⁵There's gold and plenty of expensive gemstones, but talking sense is a more valuable jewel.

¹⁶If someone guarantees a stranger's debt with their cloak, be sure to take it! Make sure you have whatever is pledged to foreigners!

¹⁷Food you get by cheating may taste sweet, but afterwards it will be like a mouthful of gravel.
