22:26 Be not thou [one] of them that {p} strike hands, [or] of them that are sureties for debts.
(p) Who rashly put themselves in danger for others, as in Pr 6:2.
22:26,27. Every man ought to be just to himself, and his family; those are not so, who, by folly or other carelessness, waste what they have. 28. We are taught not to trespass on another man's right. And it is hard to find a truly industrious man. Such a man will rise. Seest thou a man diligent in the business of religion? He is likely to excel. Let us then be diligent in God's work.
