Proverbs 6:1-5
Proverbs 6:1
My son, if you have become a guarantor for your neighbor, Or have given a handshake for a stranger,
Proverbs 6:2
If you have been ensnared by the words of your mouth, Or caught by the words of your mouth,
Proverbs 6:3
Then do this, my son, and save yourself: Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and be urgent with your neighbor to free yourself.
Proverbs 6:4
Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;
Proverbs 6:5
Save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
