Proverbs 20:16-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
16
Take his garment when he becomes guarantor for a stranger;
And for foreigners, seize a pledge from him.
17
Bread
obtained by
a lie is sweet to a person,
But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
18
Prepare plans by consultation,
And make war by wise guidance.
19
One who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets;
Therefore do not associate with a gossip.
20
He who curses his father or his mother,
His lamp will go out in time of darkness.
King James Version
Chapter 20
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 talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
20
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
16
Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.
17
Food gained by fraud is sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth is full of gravel.
18
Finalize plans with counsel,
and wage war with sound guidance.
19
The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip;
avoid someone with a big mouth.
20
Whoever curses his father or mother—
his lamp will go out in deep darkness.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
16
Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.
17
Stolen bread tastes sweet,
but it turns to gravel in the mouth.
18
Plans succeed through good counsel;
don’t go to war without wise advice.
19
A gossip goes around telling secrets,
so don’t hang around with chatterers.
20
If you insult your father or mother,
your light will be snuffed out in total darkness.
English Standard Version

but afterward his mouth will be full of gravel.
18
