¹ My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

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

¹⁸ A man void of understanding strikes hands, And becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.

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

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

³ "Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?

²² By so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant.

¹⁸ But if he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, put that to my account.

¹⁹ I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self besides).

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

³² For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, 'If I don't bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.'

³³ Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers.

⁹ I will be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don't bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever,
