Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.
A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
