Lessons for Daily Life

6 My child,a]">[a] if you have put up security for a friend's debt

or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—

2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement

and are caught by what you said—

3 follow my advice and save yourself,

for you have placed yourself at your friend's mercy.

Now swallow your pride;

go and beg to have your name erased.

4 Don't put it off; do it now!

Don't rest until you do.

5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,

like a bird fleeing from a net.

6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.

Learn from their ways and become wise!…
