Proverbs 20:16

American Standard Version (1901)

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for foreigners.

See the chapter Copy

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for a foreign woman.

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure.

For a harlot is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.

And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:

To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;

My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
