Proverbs 20:14-19

14It isnothing, it isnothing, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15There is gold, and an abundance of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for an adulteress.

17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.1

18Everypurpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

19He that goeth aboutas a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.2
