Proverbs 6:1-4

21st Century King James Version

6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast struck thy hand with a stranger,

² thou art snared with the words of thy mouth; thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

³ Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself when thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: Go, humble thyself, so that thou shalt prevail with thy friend.

⁴ Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
