Proverbs 20:15


Proverbs 20:14 Proverbs 20:15 (KJV) Proverbs 20:16
[It is] naught, [it is] naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge [are] a precious jewel.
Take his garment that is surety [for] a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
