Proverbs 11:15 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He that is surety for a stranger, &c. “He is in great danger to be undone, who stands bound to pay the debts of another man, especially of a stranger, whose ability and honesty are unknown to him; and the way to be secure from it, is not only to avoid such engagements one's self, but to dislike to see other men enter into them.” Bishop Patrick.

Proverbs 11:15

15 He that is surety for a stranger shall smarte for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.
