Proverbs 20:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ What you get by dishonesty you may enjoy like the finest food, but sooner or later it will be like a mouthful of sand.

¹⁸ Get good advice and you will succeed; don't go charging into battle without a plan.

¹⁹ A gossip can never keep a secret. Stay away from people who talk too much.
