Ben Sira 29:14

14 An honest man is surety for his neighbor, but he that is shameless will forsake him.

Ben Sira 29:14 In-Context

12 Shut up alms in thy storehouses, and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.
13 It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.
14 An honest man is surety for his neighbor, but he that is shameless 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,
