12 A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him.

16 He that would restrain her restraineth the wind; And his right hand encountereth oil.
