Ecclesiasticus 29:18 Context
16A sinner will ouerthrow the good estate of his suretie: 17And he that is of an vnthankfull minde, will leaue him in [danger] that deliuered him. 18Suretiship hath vndone many of good estate, and shaked them as a waue of the Sea: mightie men hath it driuen from their houses, so that they wandred among strange nations. 19A wicked man transgressing the commandements of the Lord, shall fall into suretiship: and hee that vndertaketh and followeth other mens businesse for gaine, shall fall into suits. 20Helpe thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thy selfe fall not into the same.
