Proverbs 20:14-19

14It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyerH7069: but when he is goneH235 his wayH235, then he boasteth.

15There is goldH2091, and abundanceH7230 of rubies: but the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847 are a preciousH3366 jewelH3627.

16TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH5237; and hold him in pledge that is suretyH6148 for strangersH2114.

17BreadH3899 of falsehoodH8267 is sweetH6156 to a manH376; but afterwardsH310 his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravelH2687.

18Every purposeH6098 is establishedH3559 by counselH6098: and by wiseH8458 guidanceH8458 makeH6213 thou warH4421,

19He that goeth aboutH1980 as a talebearerH7400 revealeth secretsH5475: therefore meddle notH3808 with him that openeth wide his lipsH8193.
