PROVERBS 11:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.”
Caution with strangers: Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to shake hands in pledge is safe. This returns to the warning against assuming others' debts. The person who pledges is in danger (yotze ra). The person who refuses is safe. Economic prudence includes protecting oneself from risky entanglements.
