6 My son, if you have become a ^(A)guarantor for your neighbor,
Or have given a handshake for a stranger,

¹⁵ One who is a ^(A)guarantor for a stranger will certainly suffer for it,
But one who hates ^[a]being a guarantor is secure.

¹⁶ Take his garment when he becomes guarantor for a stranger;
And for foreigners, seize a pledge from him.
