Job 17:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.

Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

For I made myself responsible for the boy to my father, saying, If I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.
