Proverbs 6:1-6

¹My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

²Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

³Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

⁴Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

⁵Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

⁶Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
