Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
Be not thou {one} of them that strike hands, {or} of them that are sureties for debts.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart {for it}: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. {smart: Heb. be sore broken} {suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands}
And, behold, there met him a woman {with} the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger {which} flattereth with her words.
For the lips of a strange woman drop {as} an honeycomb, and her mouth {is} smoother than oil: {mouth: Heb. palate}
For a whore {is} a deep ditch; and a strange woman {is} a narrow pit.
To deliver thee from the strange woman, {even} from the stranger {which} flattereth with her words;
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, {if} thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart {for it}: and he that hateth suretiship is sure. {smart: Heb. be sore broken} {suretiship: Heb. those that strike hands}
A man void of understanding striketh hands, {and} becometh surety in the presence of his friend. {understanding: Heb. heart}
And he said, I will send {thee} a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give {me} a pledge, till thou send {it}? {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who {is} he {that} will strike hands with me?
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
