Proverbs 20:11-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

11. Even a child is known by his acts, whether [or not] what he does is pure and right.

12. The hearing ear and the seeing eye–the Lord has made both of them.

13. Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will be satisfied with bread.

14. It is worthless, it is worthless! says the buyer; but when he goes his way, then he boasts [about his bargain].

15. There is gold, and a multitude of pearls, but the lips of knowledge are a vase of preciousness [the most precious of all]. [Job 28:12, 16-19; Prov. 3:15; 8:11.]

16. [The judge tells the creditor] Take the garment of one who is security for a stranger; and hold him in pledge when he is security for foreigners.
