1 The Folly of Guaranteeing Loans My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighbor, if you have agreed to a deal with a stranger,
2 trapped by your own words, and caught by your own words,
3 then do this, my son, and deliver yourself, because you have come under your neighbor’s control. Go, humble yourself! Plead passionately with your neighbor!
4 Don’t allow yourself to sleep or even to close your eyes.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hunter’s hand, or like a bird from a fowler’s hand.
