Proverbs 20:14-19
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.
