Dangerous Promises

1 My son, aif you become surety for your friend,
If you have1 shaken hands in pledge for a stranger, 
2 You are snared by the words of your mouth;
You are taken by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
4 aGive no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids. 
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
And like a bird from the hand of the1 fowler.

6 aGo to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
