Proverbs 20:16-21 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

16. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

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

18. Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.

19. He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20. Whoever curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

21. An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end of it shall not be blessed.
