16. Better than the shield of the mighty, and better than the spear:

17. It shall fight for thee against thy enemy.

18. A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself.

19. Forget not the kindness of thy surety: for he hath given his life for thee.

20. The sinner and the unclean fleeth from his surety.
