Proverbs 6:1-5

1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,

2you have been snared by the words of your mouth — trapped by the words from your mouth.

3Do 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.

4Don’t give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.

5Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
