Proverbs 17:18

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

He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; and hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.

Do not be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.
