1. My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbour, if thou hast stricken thy hands for 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, seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour; go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbour.
4. Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
