Proverbs 20:11-17 English Revised Version (ERV)

11. Even a child maketh himself known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

12. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.

13. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

14. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

15. There is gold, and abundance of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for strangers.

17. Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
