Surety for debt

(Verses 26-27 of Chapter 22 in Proverbs are clubbed together). Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts (Proverbs 22:26).

Let us not join hands with those who exploit the poor financially by lending to the latter at exhorbitant interests. We should not a party to such financial deals. We should not become sureties for those who take loans without security or who take loans in order to cheat the lender. We need to be wise in this world.

If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? (Proverbs 22:27)

When the lender cannot recover the debt from the debtor, you would be liable for the loan and the creditor takes your possession.
