1 My son, if you have been surety for your neighbor, or have struck your hand for the stranger, 2 or have been lured by the words of your mouth, captured 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. 4 You should not give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids— 5 snatch yourself like a gazelle from the hand, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler. Proverbs 6:1-5, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
