	CSB Christian Standard Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a 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	you have been snared by the words of your mouth— trapped by the words from 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	Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with 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!
4	Don’t give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.	Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;	Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.
5	Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a hunter’s trap.	save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.	Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
