Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.
Lending
PRO 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
PSA 37:21 The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously;
LUK 6:30-36 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you,
do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners'
love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you,
what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. And if you lend to those from
whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?
Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full.
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting
to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High,
because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Pledge (Co-sign)
PRO 6:1-5 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another, if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth, then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor! Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
PRO 11:15 He who puts up security for another will surely suffer,
but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe.
PRO 17:18 A man lacking in judgment strikes hands in pledge and puts up
security for his neighbor.
PRO 20:16 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
PRO 22:26-27 Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
PRO 27:13 Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.
