Proverbs 6:1-5

Tree of Life Version

6 My son, if you have become a cosigner for your neighbor,
if you have shaken hands in pledge with a stranger,
² if you are trapped by your own words,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
³ then do this, my son, and free yourself,
since you fell into your neighbor’s hand:
Go, humble yourself, plead with your neighbor!
⁴ Allow no sleep to your eyes,
nor slumber to your eyelids.
⁵ Escape like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
