Proverbs 6:3 ASV

¹  My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

²  Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

³  Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

⁴  Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

⁵  Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand 'of the hunter', And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
