Proverbs 11:15

Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,

but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer,

but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe.

If someone puts up security for a stranger,

he will suffer for it,

but the one who hates such agreements is protected.

There’s danger in putting up security for a stranger’s debt;

it’s safer not to guarantee another person’s debt.

He will suffer trouble when he loans to a stranger,

but he who refuses a pledge is safe.
