Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;
and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;
and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
Proverbs 20:13–19
Don’t love sleep, lest you come to poverty.
Open your eyes, and you shall be satisfied with bread.
“It’s no good, it’s no good,” says the buyer;
but when he is gone his way, then he boasts.
There is gold and abundance of rubies,
but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger;
and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.
Fraudulent food is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.
Plans are established by advice;
by wise guidance you wage war!
He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets;
therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
