Prov. 6:1‑4• 1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
 2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
 3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
 4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. (Prov. 6:1‑4)
;
Prov. 20:16• 16Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. (Prov. 20:16)
;
Prov. 22:26‑27• 26Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
 27If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? (Prov. 22:26‑27)

• This too is a repetition of a proverb given in the first great division of our book. See Proverbs 20:16. We are not to suppose that it is mere chance that caused the friends of Hezekiah to duplicate several of Solomon’s wise sayings in this way. It is rather that God would by this means bring home to our attention, in a special manner, the importance of the instruction they contain. (“Proverbs Twenty-Seven” by H.A. Ironside)
