Ben Sira 29:14

14 A good man is willing to guarantee his neighbor's debts. Only someone who has lost all sense of decency would refuse to do so.

Ben Sira 29:14 In-Context

12 Count among your treasures the fact that you give to the poor. It will save you from all kinds of trouble

13 and will be a better defense against your enemies than the strongest shield or stoutest spear.

14 A good man is willing to guarantee his neighbor's debts. Only someone who has lost all sense of decency would refuse to do so.

15 If someone does this favor for you, don't forget it; he has risked his good name for you.

16 There are some ungrateful sinners who abandon those who stand behind them, and they cause them loss of property.
