Reformed 1871 · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, Prov 20:16

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Prov 20:16

Prov 20:16 · Douay-Rheims
“Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.”
On this verse:
“Take his garment--implies severe exaction, justified by the surety's rashness. a strange woman--by some readings "strangers," but the former here, and in Pro 27:13, is allowable, and strengthens the sense. The debauchee is less reliable than the merely careless.”
