Lessons for Daily Life

¹My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—

²if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said—

³follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy. Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased.

⁴Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do.

⁵Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.

Proverbs 6:1-5 (NLT)
