Proverbs 22:26

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

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

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

Ensure your servant’s well-being. Don’t let the proud oppress me.

It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.

Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.

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

For you have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob, because they are filled from the east, with those who practice divination like the Philistines, and they clasp hands with the children of foreigners.

As you know, we exhorted, comforted, and implored every one of you, as a father does his own children,
