New Testament

Proverbs 6:1-6 New Century Version (NCV)

1. My child, be careful about giving a guarantee for somebody else’s loan,about promising to pay what someone else owes.

2. You might get trapped by what you say;you might be caught by your own words.

3. My child, if you have done this and are under your neighbor’s control,here is how to get free.Don’t be proud. Go to your neighborand beg to be free from your promise.

4. Don’t go to sleepor even rest your eyes,

5. but free yourself like a deer running from a hunter,like a bird flying away from a trapper.

6. Go watch the ants, you lazy person.Watch what they do and be wise.
