Proverbs 20:14

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Everyone likes to boast about getting a bargain.

See the chapter Copy

If you sleep all the time, you will starve; if you get up and work, you will have enough food.

Sensible words are better than gold or jewels.

Someone might say, “Here is something new!” But it happened before, long before we were born.

The time is coming when everyone will be ruined. Buying and selling will stop,

You must not cheat any of the Lord's followers in matters of sex. Remember, we warned you that he punishes everyone who does such things.
