My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

My son, don’t promise to pay for what your neighbor owes. Don’t agree to pay a stranger’s bill.

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,

My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

My son, if you have become a guarantor for your neighbor, Or have given a handshake for a stranger,

My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend,[ if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

My child, if you have made a pledge for your neighbor, and have become a guarantor for a stranger,

在邻舍面前击掌担保的，是无知的人。

不要为人击掌担保，也不要为债务作保。

为陌生人担保的，必受亏损；恨恶击掌的，却得安稳。

谁为陌生人担保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为外邦人作保，谁就要承当。

我为他担保，你可以从我手中要人，我若不带他回来交在你面前，我就对你永远担当这罪。

谁为陌生人担保，就拿谁的衣服；谁为外邦女子作保，谁就要承当。

他若亏负你，或欠你什么，都算在我的账上吧，我必偿还。这是我—保罗亲笔写的。我并不用对你说，甚至你自己也亏欠我呢！

仆人曾向我父亲为这年轻人担保，说：‘我若不带他回来交给父亲，我就在父亲面前永远担当这罪。’现在，求你把仆人留下，代替这年轻人作我主的奴隶，让这年轻人和他哥哥们一同上去。

“愿你亲自为我付押担保。谁还会与我击掌呢？

既是起誓立的，耶稣也作了更美之约的中保。
