¹⁶ Take the garment of one who puts up collateral for a stranger; And hold him in pledge for a wayward woman.

¹³ Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger; Hold it for a wayward woman!

²⁶ If you take your neighbor's garment as collateral, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down,

²⁷ for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What would he sleep in? It will happen, when he cries to me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.

¹⁶ To deliver you from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner who flatters with her words;

³ For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

⁵ That they may keep you from the strange woman, From the foreigner who flatters with her words.

¹⁰ Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, And with crafty intent.

¹⁵ He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, But he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.

²⁶ Don't you be one of those who strike hands, Of those who are collateral for debts.

²⁷ If you don't have means to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?

²⁷ For a prostitute is a deep pit; And a wayward wife is a narrow well.
