Take his garment that is surety for a stranger;\par\tab And hold him in pledge {\i that is surety} for foreigners.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger;\par\tab And hold him in pledge {\i that is surety} for a foreign woman.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;\par\tab But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
For a harlot is a deep ditch;\par\tab And a foreign woman is a narrow pit.
And, behold, there met him a woman\par\tab With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.
That they may keep thee from the strange woman,\par\tab From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey,\par\tab And her mouth is smoother than oil:
To deliver thee from the strange woman,\par\tab Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words;
My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor,\par\tab If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
There is gold, and abundance of rubies;\par\tab But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Bread of falsehood is sweet to a man;\par\tab But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
