A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
Una persona que carece de sabiduría hace promesas dando la mano y acepta ser responsable de las deudas de su amigo.
Es imprudente comprometerse a pagar las deudas de otros sin sabiduría.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israelite society, "striking hands" referred to a customary way of sealing a verbal agreement or contract, much like a modern handshake, often done in the presence of witnesses to make it binding. This proverb from the wisdom literature of Proverbs, attributed to King Solomon, highlights the dangers of impulsively becoming a surety or guarantor for a friend's debt, as such actions could lead to personal financial loss in a culture where debt and pledges were common. It reflects the broader biblical emphasis on prudent decision-making to avoid unnecessary hardship.
