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 in danger that delivered him.
18
Suretyship 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.
19
A wicked man, transgressing the commandments of the Lord, shall fall into suretyship, and he that undertaketh and followeth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits.
