Surety for Thy Neighbor — Proverbs 5:20–6:3
For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner? For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths. His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
