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?

Neither is there any daysman to lay his hand between us.

I will be surety for him, and of my hands require him. If I bring him not to thee and set him before thine eyes, then let me bear the blame forever.

For I thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father and said, 'If I bring him not unto thee again. I will bear the blame all my life long.'

He that is surety for a stranger, hurteth himself; but he that meddleth not with suretyship, is sure.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; and take a pledge of him for the unknown man's sake.

And for that cause was Jesus an establisher of a better testament.

so shall poverty come unto thee as one that travaileth by the way, and necessity like a weaponed man.

He that is surety for a stranger, hurteth himself; but he that meddleth not with suretyship, is sure.
