Proverbs 6
1 Warnings Against Folly
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, 1 if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
2 if you have been trapped by what you said, 2 ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, 3 since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: 3 Go and humble yourself; 3 press your plea with your neighbor!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes, 4 no slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, 5 like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
