Proverbs 17:18

A senseless man striketh hands, becoming surety for his neighbour.

It goeth ill with him that is surety for another; but he that hateth suretyship is secure.

My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger,

Take his garment that is become surety for another, and hold him in pledge for strangers.

He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, bringeth only to want.

Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:

Take his garment that is become surety for another, and hold him in pledge for strangers.

He that oppresseth the poor, it is to enrich him; he that giveth to the rich, bringeth only to want.

Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:
