My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,you have been snared by the words of your mouth— trapped by the words from your mouth.Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.Don’t give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
