Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 11:15

"He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; But he that hateth suretyship is secure." — Proverbs 11:15 (ASV)

The welfare of our families, our own peace, and our ability to pay just debts, must not be brought into danger. But here especially let us consider the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in becoming Surety even for enemies.
