Proverbs 6:1-5

¹My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,

²Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,

³Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,

⁴Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,

⁵Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
