Proverbs 6:1-5

Proverbs 6:1-5 CSB

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor  or entered into an agreement with   a stranger,  you have been snared by the words of your mouth — trapped by the words from your mouth. Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor. Don’t give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.  Escape like a gazelle from a hunter,  like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
