Proverbs 20:14-19

14It isnothingH7451, it isnothingH7451, saithH559 the buyerH7069: but when he is goneH235 his way, then he boastethH1984.

15There isH3426 goldH2091, and an abundanceH7230 of rubiesH6443: but the lipsH8193 of knowledgeH1847 are a preciousH3366 jewelH3627.

16TakeH3947 his garmentH899 that is suretyH6148 for a strangerH2114: and take a pledgeH2254 of him for an adulteressH5237.

17BreadH3899 of deceitH8267 is sweetH6156 to a manH376; but afterwardsH310 his mouthH6310 shall be filledH4390 with gravelH2687.1

18EverypurposeH4284 is establishedH3559 by counselH6098: and with good adviceH8458 makeH6213 warH4421.

19He that goeth aboutH1980as a talebearerH7400 revealethH1540 secretsH5475: therefore meddleH6148 not with him that flatterethH6601 with his lipsH8193.2
