Proverbs 5:10 (Listen)

10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,

and your jlabors go to the house of a foreigner,

6 My son, if you have put up esecurity for your neighbor,

have egiven your pledge for a stranger,

15 tWhoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,

but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.

16 xTake a man's garment when he has put up security for a stranger,

and yhold it in pledge when he puts up security for foreigners.1

[1] 20:16 Or for an adulteress (compare 27:13)
