Proverbs 6:1

World English Bible (WEB)

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,

In context

1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,

2 you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
