Proverbs 20:12-19

¹²The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, The Lord 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 naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: But when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

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

¹⁶Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

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

¹⁸Every purpose is established by counsel: And with good advice make war.

¹⁹He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: Therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
