Proverbs 6:1-5

MKJV(i) 1 My son, if you are surety for your friend, if you struck your palms with a stranger, 2 you are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth. 3 My son, do this now, and deliver yourself when you have come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself and make your friend sure. 4 Do not give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids. 5 Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hunter's hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
