15 Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a precious vessel, 'are' lips of knowledge.
16 Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.
17 Sweet to a man 'is' the bread of falsehood, And afterwards is his mouth filled 'with' gravel.
18 Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans make thou war.
19 A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver 'with' his lips make not thyself surety.
