Proverbs 6:1-4

¹My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbour, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,

²you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.

³Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbour. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbour.

⁴Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
