14
An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him.
15
Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
16
A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:
17
And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him that delivered him.
18
Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.
