Proverbs 6:1-5

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

2you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth.

3So do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go—to the point of exhaustion— and give your neighbor no rest!

4Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.

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