Proverbs 27:11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ Be wise, my child, and you will make me happy.
    Then I can respond to any insult.

¹² When a wise person sees danger ahead, he avoids it.
    But a foolish person keeps going and gets into trouble.

¹³ Take the coat of someone who promises to pay what a stranger owes.
    Keep it until he pays the stranger’s bills.
