Proverbs 6:1-6

1My son, if you have become a 1guarantor for your neighbor, Or have given a handshake for a stranger,2If you have been ensnared by the words of your mouth, Or caught by the words of your mouth,3Then do this, my son, and save yourself: Since you have come into the 2hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and be urgent with your neighbor to free yourself.4Give no 3sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;5Save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, And like a 4bird from the hand of the fowler.

6Go to the 5ant, you 67lazy one, Observe its ways and be wise,
