Proverbs 17:18

One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,

Take a man's garment when he has put up security for a stranger, and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for foreigners.

Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts.
