Proverbs 27:13 in other translations
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
Take his garment when he puts up collateral for a stranger. Hold it for a wayward woman!

In context
10 Thine own friend and thy father’s friend, do not thou forsake; but, the house of thy brother, do not enter, in thy day of calamity, Better a neighbour near, than a brother far off.
11 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart, that I may answer him that reproacheth me in a matter.
12 A prudent man, seeth calamity—he hideth himself, the simple, pass on—they suffer.
13 Take a man’s garment when he hath become pledge for a stranger, then, for a female unknown, accept him as surety.
14 He that blesseth his friend, with a loud voice, in the morning early, a reproach, shall it be reckoned to him.
15 A continuous dripping on a day of downpour, and a contentious wife, are alike:
16 He that hideth her, hideth the wind, and, perfume, his right hand may proclaim.
