He who is surety for a stranger shall smart for it, but he who hates suretyship is secure.

A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his neighbor.

My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbor, if thou have struck thy hands for a stranger,

Take his garment who is surety for a stranger, and hold him in pledge for foreigners.

Be thou not one of those who strike hands, [or] of those who are sureties for debts.
