Proverbs 11:15

רַע יֵרוֹעַ כִּי עָ֣רַב זָ֑ר וְשֹׂנֵ֖א תֹקְעִ֣ים בּוֹטֵֽחַ׃
raʿ yervoʿa kiy ʿarab zar vshoneʾ toqʿiym bvoṭeḥa
King James Version (KJV)

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

Modern English

Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm, but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
