Proverbs 20:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ If someone promises to pay the debts of a stranger,
    take his coat as a guarantee that he will pay.
¹⁷ If you cheat someone to get food to eat,
    it may seem good when you taste it.
    But soon it will be like sand in your mouth.
¹⁸ Things will go well if you receive good advice.
    If you want to fight a war, ask wise people to be your advisors.
