# Take a garment of one who has put up security for a stranger
|
|
|
|
When lending money, a lender would take something from the borrower, such as a garment, as a guarantee of repayment. He would return it after the money was repaid. If the borrower was too poor, someone else could give something to the lender as a guarantee for him. See how you translated this in [Proverbs 20:16](../20/15.md). AT: "Take a garment as security from the one who guarantees that what a stranger has borrowed will be paid back" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
