My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,

Υιε μου, εαν εγεινας εγγυητης δια τον φιλον σου, εαν εδωκας την χειρα σου εις ξενον,

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
