Proverbs 17:18

American King James Version (1999)

A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his friend.

See the chapter Copy

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hates indebtedness is sure.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to want.
