Proverbs 11:15

smartfor it] Both A.V. and R.V. add in the marg. "Heb. shall be sore broken."

suretiship Three entirely different Heb. words in this verse are rendered "surety," "suretiship," "sure." The first denotes exchanging with another, taking his place, becoming bail for him; the second, striking hands ("Heb. those that strike hands," A.V. and R.V. marg.), as a token of the suretiship; the third, safe, secure.

See on this verse Proverbs 6:1 note.
