	DBT Darby Bible Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for 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	thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy 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 now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend.	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!
