For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?

בְנִ֣י (י) i “my”

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

בְּ֭נִי (י) i “my”

Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
