My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger, 2Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words. 3Do, therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend: 4Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber. 5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
