1. My son, if you become surety for your friend,If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2. You are snared by the words of your mouth;You are taken by the words of your mouth.
3. So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;For you have come into the hand of your friend:Go and humble yourself;Plead with your friend.
4. Give no sleep to your eyes,Nor slumber to your eyelids.
