The New International Version

Proverbs 6:1–5

Warnings Against Folly

6 My son,g if you have put up securityh for your neighbor,i

if you have shaken hands in pledgej for a stranger,

you have been trapped by what you said,

ensnared by the words of your mouth.

So do this, my son, to free yourself,

since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:

Go—to the point of exhaustion—a

and give your neighbor no rest!

Allow no sleep to your eyes,

no slumber to your eyelids.k

Free yourself, like a gazellel from the hand of the hunter,m

like a bird from the snare of the fowler.n
