Proverbs today contains two of the significant themes that are refreshed over and over in the book: sex and money. Solomon warns about sexual temptations with graphic descriptions of the pain they bring. "Security for a friend's debt" is what we do by cosigning a note. Legally, the person who cosigns must pay if the borrower defaults. If you don't pay, it will go on your credit record. Cathy and I almost learned that the hard way many years ago. Fortunately we found out about the defaulted loan just in time to make a payment; then the borrower got caught up with the bank plus paid us back. It was still an important lesson and brings Proverbs alive for us.
