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

Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

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:

For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even 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:

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.

And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
