Proverbios 22:26 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 22:26

Be not thou [one] of them that strike hands
Or "among them" ^F13, of the number of them, that do as they do, give their hand or their bond for others; he surety for them, as it is explained in the following clause; see ( Proverbs 6:1 ) ( 17:18 ) ; [or] of them that are sureties for debts;
contracted by others; that engage for the payment of them, in case the principal fails: and it is much if persons that keep indifferent company, angry and furious men, who are often in broils and quarrels, and spend their time and substance in strife and contention, are not drawn into engagements of this kind.

24 No te asocies con el hombre iracundo; ni andes con el hombre violento,

25 no sea que aprendas sus maneras, y tiendas lazo para tu vida.

26 No estés entre los que dan fianzas, entre los que salen de fiadores de préstamos.

27 Si no tienes con qué pagar, ¿por qué han de quitarte la cama de debajo de ti?

28 No muevas el lindero antiguo que pusieron tus padres.
