Proverbs 6:1-5 ▼

1 My child, if you have given your pledge to your neighbor, if you have bound yourself to another,

2 you are snared by the utterance of your lips, caught by the words of your mouth.

3 So do this, my child, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbor’s power: go, hurry, and plead with your neighbor.

4 Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

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