Surety (Guarantee)

“Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’”

“If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,”

“because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.”

“When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.”

“My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,”

“He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.”

“A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.”

“Take the garment of the one who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.”
