1 My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, If you have stricken your hands for a stranger; 2 You are snared with the words of your mouth, You are taken with the words of your mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor: Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor; 4 Don't give sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids; 5 Deliver yourself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Until the above things are done; which denotes of what consequence and importance they are; and that persons in such circumstances should not be careless, dilatory, and unconcerned; but should use great diligence, and leave no stone unturned, or method untried, to extricate themselves; see Psalms 132:4.
