Suretyship

"Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts." Proverbs 22:26

"A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend." Proverbs 17:18

"He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretyship is sure." Proverbs 11:15

"Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman." Proverbs 20:16

"I saw that God was displeased with His people for becoming surety for unbelievers. I was directed these texts: Proverbs 22:26 . . . Proverbs 11:15. . . . Unfaithful stewards! They pledge that which belongs to another,--their heavenly Father,--and Satan stands ready to aid his children to wrench it out of their hands." 1T 200

"My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler." Proverbs 6:1-5
