Proverbs 27:13-14
Proverbs 27:13-14 The Message (MSG)
Hold tight to collateral on any loan to a stranger; be wary of accepting what a transient has pawned. If you wake your friend in the early morning by shouting “Rise and shine!” It will sound to him more like a curse than a blessing.
Proverbs 27:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, And take a pledge of him for a strange woman. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him.
Proverbs 27:13-14 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge. He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.
Proverbs 27:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)
Take the coat of someone who promises to pay a stranger’s loan, and keep it until he pays what the stranger owes. If you loudly greet your neighbor early in the morning, he will think of it as a curse.
Proverbs 27:13-14 American Standard Version (ASV)

Proverbs 27:13-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)
[The judge tells the creditor,] “Take the garment of one who is surety (guarantees a loan) for a stranger; And hold him in pledge when he is surety for an immoral woman [for it is unlikely the debt will be repaid].” [Prov 20:16] He who blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be counted as a curse to him [for it will either be annoying or his purpose will be suspect].

Get security from someone who guarantees a stranger’s debt. Get a deposit if he does it for foreigners. A loud and cheerful greeting early in the morning will be taken as a curse!
Proverbs 27:13-14 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Cosign for one you barely know and you will pay a great price! Anyone stupid enough to guarantee the loan of another deserves to have his property seized in payment. Do you think you’re blessing your neighbors when you sing at the top of your lungs early in the morning? Don’t be fooled— they’ll curse you for doing it!
