Deposit Slip Up


13 

Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt.
     Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners.

14 

A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning
     will be taken as a curse!

15 

A quarrelsome wife is as annoying
     as constant dripping on a rainy day.

16 

Stopping her complaints is like trying to stop the wind
     or trying to hold something with greased hands.

Verse 13 warns against making foolish decisions, like putting up collateral for a stranger. If someone is careless enough to do that, you should hold them accountable to their word, even if it was a foolish promise. Similarly, investing in an unreliable person, like a wayward woman, is also unwise, but they too should be held to their vows. God values keeping promises and doesn’t approve of breaking your word.

Verse 14 points out that not everyone is a morning person, so don’t try to force them into being one—it won’t go well!

Verses 15 and 16 compare a nagging, argumentative spouse to a form of torture, like water dripping endlessly, making life miserable.

Think about this: Are you someone who nags or constantly argues over things? Being contentious and nagging often become habits. You can break this pattern by developing the habit of truly listening to others
