If someone puts up security for a stranger,
he will suffer for it,
but the one who hates such agreements is protected.

One without sense enters an agreement
and puts up security for his friend.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor
or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.

Don’t be one of those who enter agreements,
who put up security for loans.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Summary
