My son, don’t promise to pay for what your neighbor owes. Don’t agree to pay a stranger’s bill.Don’t be trapped by what you have said. Don’t be caught by the words of your mouth.Instead, my son, do something to free yourself. Don’t fall into your neighbor’s hands. Go until you can’t go anymore. Don’t let your neighbor rest.Don’t let your eyes go to sleep. Don’t let your eyelids close.As a deer frees itself from a hunter, free yourself. As a bird frees itself from a trapper, free yourself.
Don’t agree to pay for what someone else owes. And don’t agree to pay their bills for them.If you don’t have the money to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you!
