Proverbs 20:12-19

¹²The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them.

¹³Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; Open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

¹⁴It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer; But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

¹⁵There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

¹⁶Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for foreigners.

¹⁷Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel; And by wise guidance make thou war.

¹⁹He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.
