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

The righteousness of the blameless will keep his ways straight, but the wicked will fall by his wickedness.

A person who lacks {sense} {pledges}; he becomes security before his neighbor.

Take his garment, for he has given security [to] a stranger, and on behalf of a foreigner--take it as pledge.

Do not be with those who {give a pledge} {by becoming} surety.

Take his garment, for he gives surety [to] a stranger, and to {an adulteress}--[so] take his pledge.
