Sirach 29:18-20
Revised Standard Version
18 Being surety has ruined many men who were prosperous,
and has shaken them like a wave of the sea;
it has driven men of power into exile,
and they have wandered among foreign nations.
19 The sinner who has fallen into suretyship
and pursues gain will fall into lawsuits.
20 Assist your neighbor according to your ability,
but take heed to yourself lest you fall.
