Proverbs 6:1-5 My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbor, if thou have struck thy hands for a stranger,

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbor, if thou have struck thy hands for a stranger, ² thou are snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth. ³ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou have come into the hand of thy neighbor. Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor. ⁴ Do not give sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. ⁵ Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
