Proverbs 20:17-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁷ Food gained dishonestly tastes sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
¹⁸ Plans are strengthened by obtaining advice,
so do not wage war without consultation.
¹⁹ A person who goes around spreading gossip reveals secrets,
so do not associate with anyone whose lips are always open.
