New International Version (© 2011)
Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger; hold it in pledge if it is done for an outsider.

King James Bible
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

American Standard Version
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger; And hold him in pledge that is surety for foreigners.

Young's Literal Translation
Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

Proverbs 20:16 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Take his garment that is surety for a stranger - I suppose the meaning to be, If a stranger or unknown person become surety in a case, greater caution should be used, and such security taken from this stranger as would prevent him from running away from his engagements.
