¹³ Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And for a strange woman pledge it.

¹⁶ Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for strangers pledge it.

²⁶ if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it to him:

¹ My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,

² Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,

³ Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,

⁴ Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,

²⁶ Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties `for' burdens.

²⁷ If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?
