- My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, Have given a pledge for a stranger,
- If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,
- Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.
- Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;
- Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
