26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge

or puts up security for debts;

26 Be not one of those who give pledges,

who put up security for debts.

26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands,

Or of them that are sureties for debts.

26 Don’t agree to guarantee another person’s debt

or put up security for someone else.

26 Don’t promise to pay what someone else owes,

and don’t guarantee anyone’s loan.

26 Be thou not one of them that strike hands,

Or of them that are sureties for debts.

26 Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:

26 Do not be ⸤found⸥ among those who make deals with a handshake, 

among those who guarantee other people’s loans. 

26 Don’t be one of those who enter agreements,

who put up security for loans.

26 Do not be one of those who give pledges,

who become surety for debts.

26 Do not be with those who give a pledge

by becoming surety.

26 Don’t agree to pay for

what someone else owes.

26 Do not be among those who give pledges,

Among those who become guarantors for debts.
