My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, Have given a pledge for a stranger, If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

The righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,
But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

A man lacking in sense pledges
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.

Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for foreigners, hold him in pledge.

Do not be among those who give pledges,
Among those who become guarantors for debts.

Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.

“Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done?
They were not even ashamed at all;
They did not even know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time that I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.

“As for those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,
Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’
And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’
They will fall and not rise again.”

But the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot
Or your brides when they commit adultery,
For the men themselves go apart with harlots
And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes;
So the people without understanding are ruined.

“You shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord,
“Do men fall and not get up again?
Does one turn away and not repent?
