Proverbs 20:13-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty;open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.

14. “Bad, bad,” says the buyer,but when he goes away, then he boasts.

15. There is gold and abundance of costly stones, but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16. Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger,and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for foreigners.
