Proverbs 6:1-5 (New Revised Standard)
1
My child, if you have given your pledge to your neighbor, if you have bound yourself to another, a
2
you are snared by the utterance of your lips, b 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, c 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, d like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
