Proverbs, Chapter 6, verses 1-5

My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor,
Have^agiven a pledge for a stranger,

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth,
Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself;
Since you have come into the^bhand of your neighbor,
Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.

⁴

Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids;

⁵

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand
And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
