Proverbs 6:1-4 My son, If thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast struck thy hand for a stranger;

Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My son, If thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast struck thy hand for a stranger; ² If thou art ensnared through the words of thy mouth, if thou art caught through the words of thy mouth: ³ Then do this by all means, my son, and deliver thyself, because thou art come into the power of thy friend, Go hasten to him, and urge thy friend. ⁴ Grant not any sleep to thy eyes, nor slumber to thy eyelids.
