My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor
or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

If someone puts up security for a stranger,
he will suffer for it,
but the one who hates such agreements is protected.

One without sense enters an agreement
and puts up security for his friend.

Don’t be one of those who enter agreements,
who put up security for loans.

Make arrangements! Put up security for me.
Who else will be my sponsor?

Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.

Take his garment,
for he has put up security for a stranger;
get collateral if it is for foreigners.

I will be responsible for him. You can hold me personally accountable! If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I will be guilty before you forever.

Your servant became accountable to my father for the boy, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will always bear the guilt for sinning against you, my father.’

So Jesus has also become the guarantee of a better covenant.
