Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 17:18
“A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.”
In context
16Why should the fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
19He who loves transgression loves strife; he who builds his gate high invites destruction.
20The one with a perverse heart finds no good, and he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
