Proverbs 17:18 Cross References - CAB

¹⁸ A foolish man applauds and rejoices over himself, as he also that becomes surety would make himself responsible for his own friends.

¹ My son, if you become surety for your friend, you shall deliver your hand to an enemy. ² For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth. ³ My son, do what I command you, and deliver yourself; for on your friend's account you have come into the power of evil men: faint not, but stir up even your friend for whom you have become surety. ⁴ Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber with your eyelids; ⁵ that you may deliver yourself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.

¹⁵ A bad man does harm wherever he meets a just man, and he hates the sound of safety.

¹⁶ (TEXT OMITTED)

¹⁶ He that oppresses the poor, increases his own substance, yet gives to the rich so as to make it less.

²⁶ Become not surety from respect of a man's person. ²⁷ For if those have not anything to give compensation, they will take the bed that is under you.
