Proverbios 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 6:5

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter]
As such a creature, which is very swift, when it is got into the hand of the hunter, will strive and struggle to get out; so should a man try all ways and means to get out of his suretyship engagements, especially when he finds himself liable to danger by it; this he should do "immediately" and "out of hand" F7, as the phrase here used sometimes signifies with the Jewish writers; and as a bird from the hand of the fowler;
another metaphor, signifying the same thing.

3 entonces has caído en manos de tu prójimo.Si quieres librarte, hijo mío, este es el camino:Ve corriendo y humíllate ante él;procura deshacer tu compromiso.
4 No permitas que se duerman tus ojos;no dejes que tus párpados se cierren.
