SCRIPTURE

"Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;" — Proverbs 6:3 (ASV)

When you are come ... —Rather, for you have come under the power of your friend; you have made your freedom and property dependent on him for whom you have become surety.

Humble yourself. —Literally, let yourself be trampled on, humbly sue.

Make sure. —Rather, assail impetuously, importune.
