If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both.

I -- I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before thee -- then I have sinned against thee all the days;

for thy servant obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee -- then I have sinned against my father all the days.

Evil [one] suffereth when he hath been surety [for] a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.

Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.

Evil [one] suffereth when he hath been surety [for] a stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident.

A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he becometh before his friend.

Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties [for] burdens.
