1My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, If you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;
2You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
3Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
4Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, Like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
Proverbs 6:1-5 (WEB)
