Proverbs 20:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Hold on to the garment of one who guarantees a stranger’s loan,
and hold responsible the person who makes a loan on behalf of a foreigner.
¹⁷ Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.
¹⁸ Plans are confirmed by getting advice,
and with guidance one wages war.
