16. Sinners will ruintheir guarantor’s property,

17. and ungrateful personsintentionally abandon their rescuers.

18. Guaranteeing a loanhas ruined many prosperous peopleand tossed them aboutlike a wave on the sea.It has led to the exile of the powerful,and they have wanderedamong foreign nations.

19. Sinners will fall into guaranteeing loans,and when they chase profits,they will fall into lawsuits.
