My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,

When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:

Care in the heart of a man makes it weighted down, but a good word makes it glad.

He who makes sport of the word will come to destruction, but the respecter of the law will be rewarded.

The simple man has faith in every word, but the man of good sense gives thought to his footsteps.

By a soft answer wrath is turned away, but a bitter word is a cause of angry feelings.

A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!

A word of protest goes deeper into one who has sense than a hundred blows into a foolish man.

He who keeps the law keeps his soul; but death will be the fate of him who takes no note of the word.

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.

A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

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.

Every word of God is tested: he is a breastplate to those who put their faith in him.
