A man void of understanding striketh hands,\par\tab And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;\par\tab But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger;\par\tab And hold him in pledge {\i that is surety} for foreigners.
He that oppresseth the poor to increase his {\i gain},\par\tab {\i And} he that giveth to the rich, {\i shall come} only to want.\par
