לְֽקַח־בִּגְדוֹ כִּי־עָרַב זָר וּבְעַד נכרים חַבְלֵֽהוּ
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and hold him in pledge that is surety for an alien woman.
עָרֵב לָאִישׁ לֶחֶם שָׁקֶר וְאַחַר יִמָּֽלֵא־פִיהוּ חָצָֽץ

מַחֲשָׁבוֹת בְּעֵצָה תִכּוֹן וּבְתַחְבֻּלוֹת עֲשֵׂה מִלְחָמָֽה
Every purpose is established by counsel; and with good advice carry on war.
גּֽוֹלֶה־סּוֹד הוֹלֵךְ רָכִיל וּלְפֹתֶה שְׂפָתָיו לֹא תִתְעָרָֽב
