Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 27 of Proverbs. The wise son gives his father a defense against those who might criticize his teaching. Prudence again appears in the face of danger, while diligent care protects against avoidable consequences. The statement about iron sharpening iron presents friendship as a process of mutual formation: people can improve one another’s character through conversation, correction, and shared life.

Nimm dem sein Kleid, der für einen andern Bürge wird, und pfände ihn um der Fremden willen.
Quítale su ropa al que fio al extraño; Y al que fio a la extraña, tómale prenda.
Toma la ropa de quien salió fiador por un extraño; tómale una prenda por la mujer ajena.
Prends son vêtement, car il a cautionné autrui; Exige de lui des gages, à cause des étrangers.
Prendi pure il vestimento di chi ha fatta sicurtà per lo strano; E prendi pegno da lui per la straniera
Quando alguém fica por fiador do estranho, toma-lhe até a sua roupa, e por penhor àquele que se obriga pela mulher estranha.
誰為陌生人擔保,就拿誰的衣服; 誰為外邦女子作保,誰就要承當。
