“Pledge”
Blessings folk!
Proverbs teach, instruct, encourage and exhort us to seek Wisdom.
We are also shown how to live wisely.
An example…
Pro 27:13
Take a man’s garment when he has put up security for a stranger,
and hold it in pledge when he puts up security for an adulteress.
ESV
When a man puts up security for a stranger or an adulteress…such a man is to be considered carefully.
If “doing business” with him, then you are to/can take his garment…as security…to hold it in pledge of payment.
Do not trust him blindly.
Such is wise.
Pro 27:13
Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.
NLT
Be wise.
Rom 16:19
But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord.
This makes me very happy.
I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong.
NLT
