Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger; and take a pledge from him for strangers.
He who is surety for a stranger shall be ruined; and he who hates suretyship is safe.
They will deliver you from the strange woman, the stranger who flatters with her words,
There is gold and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a rare jewel.
Bread of deceit is sweet to a man, but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
For a harlot is a deep ditch, and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
Take his robe that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for a strange woman.
For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is smoother than oil;
My son, if you are surety for your friend, if you struck your palms with a stranger,
And, behold, there a woman met him, with the dress of a harlot and a guarded heart.
so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger who flatters with her words.
