Proverbs 6:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. My son, if you put up a security for your friend,if you have shaken hands with a stranger,

2. you are snared with the words of your mouth;you are taken with the words of your mouth.

3. Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself;when you have come into the hand of your friend,go and humble yourself;plead with your friend.

4. Give no sleep to your eyes,nor slumber to your eyelids.
