Proverbs 6:1-5 ▼

1 My son, if you have become surety to your neighbor, given your hand in pledge to another,

2 You have been snared by the utterance of your lips, caught by the words of your mouth;

3 So do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s power: Go, hurry, rouse your neighbor!

4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;

5 Free yourself like a gazelle from the hunter, or like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
