	LAMSA Lamsa Bible	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	MY son, if you have become surety for your friend, if you have obligated yourself to 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	Then you are snared with the words of your mouth, you are caught with the words of your lips.	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 yourself because, for the sake of your friend, you have fallen into the hands of your enemies; go, therefore, and stir up your friend for whom you have become surety to meet his obligation.	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!
