Proverbs 20:17-19

New Life Version

¹⁷ Bread a man gets by lying is sweet to him, but later his mouth will be filled with sand.

¹⁸ Make plans by listening to what others have to say, and make war by listening to the leading of wise men.

¹⁹ He who goes about talking to hurt people makes secrets known. So do not be with those who talk about others.
