Proverbs 6:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighboror shake hands in agreement with a stranger,

2. you will be trapped by your words;you will be caught by your words.

3. Do this, my son, to get out of it,for you have come under the control of your neighbor.So go, humble yourself, and pester your neighbor.

4. Don’t give sleep to your eyesor slumber to your eyelids.

5. Get yourself free like a gazelle from a hunter,like a bird from the hand of a fowler.

6. Go to the ant, you lazy person;observe its ways and grow wise.
