Now viewing scripture range from the book of Ecclesiasticus chapter 29:16 through chapter 29:19...
16 A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:
17 And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him.
18 Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.
19 A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits.
