Proverbs 6:1-5

1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,

2if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,

3then 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.

4Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

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