Proverbs 20:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Take the coat of one who puts up money for what a stranger owes.
    Hold it until you get paid back if it is done for an outsider.

¹⁷ Food gained by cheating tastes sweet.
    But you will end up with a mouth full of gravel.

¹⁸ Plans are made by asking for guidance.
    So if you go to war, get good advice.
