Proverbs 22:26

¹⁵He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.

¹⁸A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.

¹My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger, ²you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth. ³Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. ⁴Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. ⁵Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

¹³Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!
