Proverbs 20:16 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

v. 16. Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, for one so foolish and inconsiderate might as well hand it over at once, since he will surely lose it, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman, or, "for strange people," for such suretyship is always ill-advised.

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