" A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his friend. "
— Proverbs 17:18, American King James Version
“A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.”
“A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.”
“The one who lacks sense strikes hands in pledge, and puts up financial security for his neighbor.”
He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it?
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his friend.
He loves transgression that loves strife: and he that exalts his gate seeks destruction.
He that has a fraudulent heart finds no good: and he that has a perverse tongue falls into mischief.
He that begets a fool does it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool has no joy.
