13. It shall fight for you against your enemy Better than a mighty shield and a ponderous spear.
14. A good man will be surety for his neighbor; And he that has lost shame will fail him.
15. Forget not the good offices of your surety; For he has given his life for you.
16. A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety;
17. And he that is of an unthankful mind will fail him that delivered him.
18. Suretiship has undone many that were prospering, And shaken them as a wave of the sea: Mighty men has it driven from their homes; And they wandered among strange nations.
19. A sinner that falls into suretiship, And undertakes contracts for work, shall fall into lawsuits.
20. Help your neighbor according to your power, And take heed to yourself that you fall not to the same.
21. The chief thing for life is water, and bread, And a garment, and a house to cover shame.
22. Better is the life of a poor man under a shelter of logs, Than sumptuous fare in another man’s house.
23. With little or with much, be well satisfied.
24. It is a miserable life to go from house to house: And where you are a sojourner, you shall not dare to open your mouth.
25. You shall entertain, and give to drink, and have no thanks: And besides this you shall hear bitter words.
26. Come hither, you sojourner, furnish a table, And if you have anything in your hand, feed me with it.
27. Go forth, you sojourner, from the face of honor; My brother is come to be my guest; I have need of my house.
