Parental Counsel
1
My son, if you have become a guarantor for your neighbor,
Or have given a handshake for a stranger,
2
If you have been ensnared by the words of your mouth,
Or caught by the words of your mouth,
3
Then do this, my son, and save yourself:
Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,
Go, humble yourself, and be urgent with your neighbor to free yourself.
4
Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids;
5
Save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand,
And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
