Proverbs 6:2 In-Context
1
My son, if you have put up security for your friend, if you committed yourself on behalf of another;
2
you have been snared by the words of your mouth, caught by the words of your own mouth.
3
Do this now, my son, and extricate yourself, since you put yourself in your friend's power: go, humble yourself, and pester your friend;
4
give your eyes no sleep, give your eyelids no rest;
5
break free, like a gazelle from the [hunter's] trap, like a bird from the grip of the fowler.
