Proverbs 27:14

¹² The prudent see danger and take cover; but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

¹³ Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.

If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted to him as a curse.

¹⁵ A constant dripping on a rainy day and a contentious woman are alike—

¹⁶ restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.
