King James Version
"A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend."
— Proverbs 17:18, King James Version
“A man void of understanding striketh hands, And becometh surety in the presence of his neighbor. ”
“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.”
“A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.”
“A man without sense gives his hand in an agreement, and makes himself responsible before his neighbour.”
“A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.”
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord.
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.
He that hath a froward heart findeth no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.
