My son, if you are surety for your friend, if you struck your hands with an alien,

you are snared with the words of your mouth; you are captured with the words of your own mouth.

My son, do this then, and deliver yourself when you come into the hand of your friend: go lower yourself and be bold to your friend.

Do not give sleep to your eyes, or slumber to your eyelids.

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand of a hunter , and as a bird from the fowler's hand.
