Proverbs 27:13

The Scriptures 1998

Take the garment of him who is guarantor for a stranger, And for a strange woman pledge it.

See the chapter Copy

“If you take your neighbour’s garment as a pledge at all, you are to return it to him before the sun goes down.

He who is guarantor for a stranger suffers harm, But one who hates shaking hands in pledge is safe.

Take the garment of one who is guarantor for a stranger, And hold it as a pledge when it is for foreigners.

A clever man foresees calamity, hides himself; The simple shall go on, they are punished.
