Proverbs 17:18

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbour.

See the chapter Copy

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: But he that hateth suretiship is sure.

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for strangers.

He that oppresseth the poor to increase his gain, And he that giveth to the rich, cometh only to want.
