Mishle 6:1-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

6 Beni (my son), if thou put up collateral for thy re’a, if thou hast shaken hands in pledge with a zar (stranger),

² Thou art snared with the words of thy peh (mouth), thou art trapped with the words of thy peh (mouth).

³ Do this now, beni (my son), and deliver thyself, since thou art come into the palm of thy re’a; go, humble thyself, and plead with thy re’a.

⁴ Give not sheynah to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

⁵ Deliver thyself as a gazelle from the yad [of the hunter], and as a tzippor (bird) from the yad of the fowler.
