1 My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighbor or pledge yourself for a stranger with a handshake, 2 you are trapped by the words of your own mouth, caught by your own promise. 3 Do the following things, my son, so that you may free yourself, because you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Humble yourself, and pester your neighbor. 4 Don't let your eyes rest or your eyelids close. 5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hand of a hunter and like a bird from the hand of a hunter.
