6 My son, if you have put up security* for your neighbor,+

If you have given your handshake* to a stranger,+

 5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand,

Like a bird from the hand of the birdcatcher.

16 Take a man’s garment if he has given security for a stranger;+

Seize the pledge from him if he did so for a foreign woman.*+
