Proverbs 6:1-5

NSB(i) 1 My son, if you serve as surety for your friend and you give your pledge to him, 2 You are snared with the words of your mouth. You are captured by the words of your mouth! 3 You are now in the power of that person. Here is what you should do: Go and beg for permission to call off the agreement. 4 Do this before you fall asleep. Do not allow your eyes to close. 5 Deliver your self like a deer from the hand of the hunter, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler (bird catcher).
