Proverbs 20:14-19
14“Bad! Bad!” says the buyer. Then, as he goes away, he brags ⌞about his bargain⌟.
15There are gold and plenty of jewels, but the lips of knowledge are precious gems.
16Hold on to the garment of one who guarantees a stranger’s loan, and hold responsible the person who makes a loan on behalf of a foreigner.
17Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person, but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18Plans are confirmed by getting advice, and with guidance one wages war.
19Whoever goes around as a gossip tells secrets. Do not associate with a person whose mouth is always open.
