Guaranteeing the debt of a stranger brings big trouble, but the one who refuses to shake hands will be secure.
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: And he that hateth suretiship is sure.
He who becomes security for an outsider shall smart for it, but he who hates suretyship is secure [from its penalties].
He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure.
He will be afflicted with evil, who provides a guarantee for an outsider. But whoever is wary of traps shall be secure.
He shall be afflicted with evil, that is surety for a stranger: but he that is aware of the snares, shall be secure.
