1. My child, if you have pledged to your neighbor, if you have bound yourself to the stranger,
2. if you are snared by the sayings of your mouth, if you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,
3. do this, then, my child, and save yourself, for you have come into the palm of your neighbor’s hand: Go, humble yourself, plead with your neighbor.
4. Do not give sleep to your eyes, or slumber to your eyelids.
