Sirach 29:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ A sinner attributeth to himself the goods of his surety: and he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him that delivered him.

²² A man is surety for his neighbour: and when he hath lost all shame, he shall forsake him.

²³ Evil suretyship hath undone many of good estate, and hath tossed them as a wave of the sea.
