Proverbs 20:18 Context
16Take his garment that is suerty for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. 17Bread of deceit is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with grauell. 18Euery purpose is established by counsell: and with good aduice make warre. 19He that goeth about as a tale-bearer, reueileth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lippes. 20Who so curseth his father or his mother, his lampe shall be put out in obscure darkenesse.
