Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Haz esto de inmediato, hijo mío, y libérate de esta situación, ya que has caído bajo el control de tu amigo: ve, humíllate, y suplica con urgencia a tu amigo.
Cuando te comprometes imprudentemente con alguien, actúa rápido para liberarte humillándote y suplicando.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Proverbs is part of the Old Testament's Wisdom Literature, attributed to King Solomon, who compiled these sayings around 900 BC to guide people in practical daily decisions and moral living. In this verse, it's addressing a scenario where someone has foolishly guaranteed a loan for another, potentially leading to personal ruin, and urges immediate action to avoid the consequences. This reflects the ancient Israelite culture, where financial pledges were serious commitments that could result in debt slavery or loss of property.
