Against Pledges

My child, if you have pledged to your neighbor,
    if you have bound yourself[a] to the stranger,
if you are snared by the sayings of your mouth,
    if you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,

    for you have come into the palm of your neighbor’s hand:[b]
    Go, humble yourself, plead with your neighbor.
