Proverbs 20:12-17

1. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.

2. 13 Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

3. 14 It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.

4. 15 There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

5. 16 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

6. 17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
