- Genesis 44:32
Indeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
Commentary on Genesis 44:321 voice
For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,.... Which is another argument used for the release of Benjamin, though he should be detained for him, which he offers to be: saying, if I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame unto my father for ever; See Gill on Gen 43:9.

- Exodus 22:26
If you take your neighbor’s cloak as collateral, return it to him by sunset,
Commentary on Exodus 22:261 voice
If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge,....

- Exodus 22:27
because his cloak is the only covering he has for his body. What else will he sleep in? And if he cries out to Me, I will hear, for I am compassionate.
Commentary on Exodus 22:271 voice
It appears also that one who does not give back his pledge to a poor man stands condemned with God, for the following threat is directed against such a one: "He who does not receive back his pledge will cry to me," says the Lord, "and I will hear him because I am compassionate."[Of old] it was wicked and unlawful to gather the sheaves left after the harvest, or to glean the vines after the vintage or to gather up the olives that remain after the trees were picked, because these things were to be left for the poor.
Basil of Caesarea· Commentary (church-history corpus), 379Patristic
- Deuteronomy 24:10–13
When you lend anything to your neighbor, do not enter his house to collect security.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 24:10–131 voice
When thou dost lend thy brother anything,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Proverbs 6:1–5
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
Commentary on Proverbs 6:1–51 voice
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, and art snared with the words of thy mouth, and art taken with thine own speeches. For to be surety for a friend is to take charge of the soul of another on the surety of one's own behaviour. Whence also the hand is stricken with a stranger, because the mind is bound with the care of a responsibility which before was not.
Gregory the Dialogist· Pastoral Rule 3.4, 604Patristic
- Proverbs 11:15
He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.
Commentary on Proverbs 11:151 voice
He who makes a pledge for a stranger will be punished by the evil. The sense of the letter is at hand. But he is a stranger from the lot of saints who neglects to correct his sins by repentance; and whoever grants the grace …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 17:18
A man lacking judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor.
Commentary on Proverbs 17:181 voice
A foolish man claps his hands, etc. He is foolish who, when receiving the soul of his brother to be governed, glories in his own deeds, and does not rather help him with humble compassion, rendering whatever help he can of saving aid.
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 20:16
Take the garment of the one who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
Commentary on Proverbs 20:162 voices
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger - I suppose the meaning to be, If a stranger or unknown person become surety in a case, greater caution should be used, and such security taken from this stranger as would prevent him from running away from his engagements.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Proverbs 22:26
Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
Commentary on Proverbs 22:261 voice
Do not be with those who bind their hands, etc. Do not be with those who, though free and keeping themselves available to themselves, bind themselves in the care of the salvation of the wicked, promising to render an account to the Lord for their …
Bede· Commentary on Proverbs, 735Patristic
- Proverbs 27:13
Take the garment of him who posts security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for a foreigner.
Commentary on Proverbs 27:131 voice
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. See Gill on Pro 20:16, where the same proverb is, and is expressed in the same words as here.

- Ezekiel 18:7
He does not oppress another, but restores the pledge to the debtor. He does not commit robbery, but gives his bread to the hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
Commentary on Ezekiel 18:72 voices
The tenth is: He gives his bread to the hungry. From this we are taught that alms should not be given to the satiated, but to the hungry; and not to those who belch from fullness, but to those who suffer from emptiness. For in bread is contained all food. And it is significantly said, his: so that we do not turn bread acquired from rapine, usury, and ill-gotten gain into mercy; for the redemption of a man's soul (Prov. XIII, 7) is his own riches.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
(Verse 5, 6 and following) And if a man is just and does judgment and justice, does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not violate his neighbor's wife, does not approach a menstruating woman, does not oppress anyone, gives back a pledge to a debtor, does not commit robbery, gives his bread to the hungry, covers the naked with clothing, does not lend at interest or take any increase, turns his hand away from iniquity, does justice between man and man, walks in my statutes, and keeps my judgments, to do truth: this man is just, he shall surely live, says the Lord God.
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
- Ezekiel 18:12
He oppresses the poor and needy; he commits robbery and does not restore a pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
Commentary on Ezekiel 18:122 voices
(Ver. 10 and following) But if he has fathered a son who is a robber, shedding blood, and he has committed one of these (or, as the Septuagint has translated, if he has committed sins: if he has not walked in the way of his righteous father), and he does all these things, not abstaining from them, but rather feasting on the mountains, defiling the wife of his neighbor, oppressing the needy and the poor, seizing plunder, not returning pledges, lifting his eyes to idols, committing abominations, engaging in usury, and taking more, will he live?
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
Hath oppressed the poor and needy,.... Who are weak, and have none to help them, and stand by them, and so are oppressed by such a man.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Ezekiel 33:15
if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.
Commentary on Ezekiel 33:152 voices
If the wicked restore the pledge,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
(Versed 10ff.) Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them: 'Our transgressions and sins are upon us, and we waste away because of them. How then can we live?' Say to them: 'As surely as I live, declares the Lord God, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the wicked turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
Jerome· Commentary on Ezekiel, 420Patristic
- Amos 2:8
They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. And in the house of their God, they drink wine obtained through fines.
Commentary on Amos 2:82 voices
Cain was the first murderer. Afterwards a deluge engulfed the earth because of the exceeding wickedness of humanity. Fire came down from heaven upon the people of Sodom because of their corruption. Subsequently God elected Israel, but even Israel became perverse, and the chosen people were wounded. For while Moses stood on the mountain before God, the people worshiped a calf in the place of God. In the days of their lawgiver Moses, who said, "You shall not commit adultery," a man dared to enter a brothel and be wanton.
Cyril of Jerusalem· CATECHETICAL LECTURE 12:6, 386Patristic
(Vers. 6 seqq.) Thus says the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke my word: Because they sell the just man for silver, and the poor man for a pair of sandals. They trample the heads of the weak into the dust of the earth, and they force the lowly off the path. Son and father go to the same prostitute, profaning my holy name. Upon garments taken in pledge, they recline beside every altar; and the wine of those who have been fined, they drink in the house of their God.
Jerome· Commentary on Amos, 420Patristic
