My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for a stranger,
In context
1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for a stranger, 2you are snared by the words of your mouth, caught by the words of your mouth. 3Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: go, humble yourself, and press your neighbor hard.
