Do not be willing to be with those who certify with their hands, and who offer themselves as a guarantee against debts.
He will be afflicted with evil, who provides a guarantee for an outsider. But whoever is wary of traps shall be secure.
A foolish man will clap his hands, when he makes a pledge for his friend.
Take away the garment of him who has vouched for an outsider. And take a pledge from him on behalf of foreigners.
