	BLB Berean Literal Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	My son, if you have been surety for your neighbor, or have struck your hand for the stranger,	My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,	My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
2	or have been lured by the words of your mouth, captured by the words of your mouth,	if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,	you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth.
3	then you must do this my son, and deliver yourself, for you have come into the palm of your neighbor: Go humble yourself, and press your neighbor.	then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.	So do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go—to the point of exhaustion— and give your neighbor no rest!
