Proverbs 27:11-14 New Century Version (NCV)

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

12. The wise see danger ahead and avoid it,but fools keep going and get into trouble.

13. Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan,and keep it until he pays what the stranger owes.

14. If you loudly greet your neighbor early in the morning,he will think of it as a curse.
