'Surety' in the Bible

I -- I am surety for him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee -- then I have sinned against thee all the days;

for thy servant obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee -- then I have sinned against my father all the days.

My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,

Evil one suffereth when he hath been surety for a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.

A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.

Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a deceiver with his lips make not thyself surety.

Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it.

As a crane -- a swallow -- so I chatter, I mourn as a dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah, oppression is on me, be my surety.
