Proverbs 6:1-5

Practical Warnings

1 My son, if you have put up asecurity for your neighbor,
have bgiven your pledge for a stranger,
2if you are csnared in the words of your mouth,
caught in the words of your mouth,
3then do this, my son, and save yourself,
for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:
go, hasten,
Or humble yourself
and eplead urgently with your neighbor.
4 fGive your eyes no sleep
and your eyelids no slumber;
5save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
Hebrew lacks  of the hunter

hlike a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Proverbs 22:26

26Be not one of those who igive pledges,
who put up security for debts.
