Proverbs 27:14

All About Life

¹³ Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
¹⁴ He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning,
It will be reckoned a curse to him.
¹⁵ A constant dripping on a day of steady rain
And a contentious woman are alike;

Early in the Morning
