Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who is surety for debts;
He who is surety for a stranger will suffer, But one who hates being surety is secure.
A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, And becomes surety for his friend.
Take the garment of him who is surety for a stranger, And hold it in pledge when he is surety for a seductress.
