Proverbs 20:14-19

¹⁴It is bad, it is bad, saith the buyer; but when he is gone his way, then doth he boast.

¹⁵There is gold, and a multitude of pearls; but a precious vessel are the lips of knowledge.

¹⁶Take away his garment, because he hath become surety for a stranger; and on account of a strange woman take a pledge from him.

¹⁷Bread of falsehood is pleasant to a man; but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel-stones.

¹⁸Plans are established by counsel; and with wise reflection conduct war.

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