A church father on this verse
“Do not be with those who bind their hands, etc. Do not be with those who, though free and keeping themselves available to themselves, bind themselves in the care of the salvation of the wicked, promising to render an account to the Lord for their souls. If he for whom you stood surety does not have good works to make…”

In context
24Be not companion to a furious man; Neither lodge with a passionate man:
25Lest thou learn of his ways, And get snares to thy soul.
— Proverbs 22:26 —
27For if those have not whence to give compensation, They will take the bed that is under thee.
28Remove not the old landmarks, which thy fathers placed.
