Contracts » By joining hands
A man lacking common sense gives a pledge
And becomes guarantor [for the debt of another] in the presence of his neighbor.
Do not be among those who give pledges [involving themselves in others’ finances],
Or among those who become guarantors for others’ debts.
If you have given your pledge for [the debt of] a stranger or another [outside your family],
Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the descendants of the righteous will be freed.
Now Zedekiah dishonored the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand and pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape.’”
