Proverbs 22:26 in other translations
Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.

In context
23 For, Yahweh, will plead their cause, and will despoil their despoilers of life.
24 Do not have friendship with one given to anger, and, with a wrathful man, shall thou not enter in:
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and take a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not of them who strike hands, of them who are sureties for debts:
27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should one take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Do not move back the ancient boundary, which thy father’s made.
29 Seest thou a man prompt in his business? before kings, shall he stand, he shall not stand before men who are obscure.
