“It is senseless
To give a pledge.
It is senseless
To becomes surety for a neighbor.
Whoever loves transgression
Loves strife.
Whoever builds a high threshold
Invites broken bones.
The crooked of mind do not prosper.
The perverse of tongue fall into calamity.”
Do not give a pledge for your neighbor. If you love transgressions, then get ready to love strife. If you build a high threshold, you are inviting danger because some tall strong people might come into your house to hurt you. This might also be a sign that you are showing pride. The crooked and the perverse do not prosper, but fall into calamity or danger.
