Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, And take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: And he that hateth suretiship is sure.
For a whore is a deep ditch; And a strange woman is a narrow pit.
And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the stranger which flattereth with her words.
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, And her mouth is smoother than oil:
To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, If thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
There is gold, and a multitude of rubies: But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.
Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; But afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
