Proverbs 6:1-5

¹My sonne, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, and hast striken hands with the stranger,

²Thou art snared with the wordes of thy mouth: thou art euen taken with the woordes of thine owne mouth.

³Doe this nowe, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe: seeing thou art come into the hande of thy neighbour, goe, and humble thy selfe, and sollicite thy friends.

⁴Giue no sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

⁵Deliuer thy selfe as a doe from the hande of the hunter, and as a birde from the hande of the fouler.
