Proverbs 20:16
New Catholic Bible
16 Take the garment of anyone who becomes surety for a stranger;
demand a pledge as security for persons unknown to you.[a]
Footnotes
- Proverbs 20:16 The words are like those of a judge against one who has imprudently made himself a guarantor (see Prov 6:1-5). A garment could be taken as security for a debt (see Deut 24:10-13).
