"And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me... I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame forever" (Genesis 43:8,9). "He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it" (Proverb 11:15). "By so much was Jesus made a Surety of a better testament" (Hebrews 7:22).
Shadows of our Lord's endeavor
Are cast by Judah's plea,
"Let me bear the blame forever,
I will be a surety."
By so much more was Jesus made
A Surety for us.
His sacrifice shall never fade,
As shadows surely must.
