Proverbs 27:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Possibly this is here repeated as a part of the father's counsel to his son, begun Proverbs 27:11, to avoid rash suretiship, to which young men are most prone, and by which they are exposed in the beginning of their days to many sins and miseries, which they carry with them to their graves.

Proverbs 27:13

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