Thematic Bible



My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighbor, if you have agreed to a deal with a stranger, trapped by your own words, and caught by your own words,

The righteousness of the innocent creates a level path, but the wicked fall by their wickedness.

A man who lacks sense cosigns a loan, becoming a guarantor for his neighbor.

Take the garment of anyone who puts up collateral for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he does it for an unfamiliar woman.

Don't be one of those who make promises to guarantee loans for debts.

Take the coat of anyone who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if he cosigns for an immoral woman.
