6:1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

6:2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

6:3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

6:4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

6:5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

11:15He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

17:18A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

20:16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
