Proverbs 6:1-5

1My son, if thou art surety for thy friend, if thou hast struck thy hand with a stranger, 2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and plead with thy friend.1 4Give not sleep to thy eyes, nor slumber to thy eyelids. 5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
