Proverbs 17:18

One who lacks sense gives a pledge

and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge

and puts up security for a neighbor.

One without sense enters an agreement

and puts up security for his friend.

It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt

or put up security for a friend.

A person who lacks sense pledges;

he becomes security before his neighbor.

A man void of understanding striketh hands,

And becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
