1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,when thou art come into the hand of thy friend;go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes,nor slumber to thine eyelids.
