Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: go, humble yourself, and press your neighbor hard.
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. 4Give no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. 5Free yourself like a gazelle from the hand, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
