1. Have you promised to be responsible for someone else's debts, my child?
2. Have you been caught by your own words, trapped by your own promises?
3. Well then, my child, you are in that person's power, but this is how to get out of it: hurry to him, and beg him to release you.
4. Don't let yourself go to sleep or even stop to rest.
16-19. There are seven things that the Lord hates and cannot tolerate:a proud look,a lying tongue,hands that kill innocent people,a mind that thinks up wicked plans,feet that hurry off to do evil,a witness who tells one lie after another,and someone who stirs up trouble among friends.
