This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
ערום alliterates with ערב.
Take from him the garment, for he hath become surety for another,
And for the sake of a strange matter put him under bonds.
= Pro 20:16, vid., there. נָכְרִיָּה we interpret neut. (lxx τὰ ἀλλότρια; Jerome, pro alienis), although certainly the case occurs that one becomes surety for a strange woman (Aquila, Theodotion, περὶ ξένης), by whose enticements and flatteries he is taken, and who afterwards leaves him in the lurch with the debts for which he had become security, to show her costly favour to another.
