^{1 Ref} My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

^{2 Ref} Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

^{3 Ref} Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

^{4 Ref} Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
