Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

1My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

4Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
