Proverbs 22:26

Do not be among those who give pledges,
Among those who become guarantors for debts.

He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it,
But he who hates being a guarantor is secure.

A man lacking in sense pledges
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.

My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor,
Have given a pledge for a stranger,

Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;
And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.

Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor,
Have given a pledge for a stranger,

He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it,
But he who hates being a guarantor is secure.

A man lacking in sense

pledges

And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.

Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger;

And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
