Proverbs 22:26-27
Amplified Bible
26
Do not be among those who give pledges [involving themselves in others’ finances],
Or among those who become guarantors for others’ debts.
27
If you have nothing with which to pay [another’s debt when he defaults],
Why should his creditor take your bed from under you?
Proverbs 22:26-27

Among those who become guarantors for debts.
27 If you have nothing with which to repay,
Why should he (B)take your bed from under you?

[The judge tells the creditor,] “Take the garment of one who is surety (guarantees a loan) for a stranger;
And hold him in pledge when he is surety for an immoral woman [for it is unlikely the debt will be repaid].”(A)
Proverbs 27:13

And for a foreign woman seize a pledge from him.
