“Pledges”
Blessings folk!
Uh-oh…
Pro 22:26-27
Be not one of those who give pledges,
who put up security for debts.
If you have nothing with which to pay,
why should your bed be taken from under you?
ESV
Another version…
Pro 22:26-27
Don’t agree to guarantee another person’s debt
or put up security for someone else.
If you can’t pay it,
even your bed will be snatched from under you.
NLT
The Word literally tell us not to guarantee, put up security…co-sign…another’s debt.
Such is standard practice in our world.
Now you can say, “the Bible says not to!”
Why?
Because it might come back on you.
If they default…refuse to pay…then you will have to pay.
If you can not pay, then you could lose…even your bed!
Live as the Word instructs…
