Proverbs 6:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
2 if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.
