Proverbs 20:16

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

He who makes himself responsible for a strange man will undergo much loss; but the hater of such undertakings will be safe.

Be not one of those who give their hands in an agreement, or of those who make themselves responsible for debts:

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.

If ever you take your neighbour's clothing in exchange for the use of your money, let him have it back before the sun goes down:

To take you out of the power of the strange woman, who says smooth words with her tongue;

For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

So that they may keep you from the strange woman, even from her whose words are smooth.

For a loose woman is a deep hollow, and a strange woman is a narrow water-hole.

If you have nothing with which to make payment, he will take away your bed from under you.

Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
