Proverbs 27:5-15

New International Reader's Version NIRV

6 Wounds from a friend can be trusted. But an enemy kisses you many times.

7 When you are full, you even hate honey. When you are hungry, even what is bitter tastes sweet.

12 The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.
