Ben Sira 29:18

18 A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself.

Ben Sira 29:18 In-Context

16 Better than the shield of the mighty, and better than the spear:

17 It shall fight for thee against thy enemy.

18 A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself.

19 Forget not the kindness of thy surety: for he hath given his life for thee.

20 The sinner and the unclean fleeth from his surety.
