My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
Hijo mío, si has prometido pagar la deuda de tu amigo, si has dado la mano a un extraño para garantizar su préstamo,
Salir como garante o fiador de otros puede traerte problemas financieros.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israel during the time of King Solomon, who is traditionally seen as the author of Proverbs, people often sealed financial agreements by striking hands, which was a formal way to pledge or guarantee a debt. This practice carried significant risks, as becoming a surety meant taking on another's financial obligations, potentially leading to personal loss in a society where resources were limited. Such wisdom literature in the Bible aimed to guide people away from foolish decisions in everyday life.
