Admonitions and Warnings against Dangerous and Destructive Acts My child, if you have made a pledge for your neighbor, if you have become a guarantor for a stranger,
if you have been ensnared by the words you have uttered, and have been caught by the words you have spoken,
then, my child, do this in order to deliver yourself, because you have fallen into your neighbor’s power: go, humble yourself, and appeal firmly to your neighbor.
Permit no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare, and like a bird from the trap of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you sluggard; observe its ways and be wise!
