Proverbs 6:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

6 My child, if you have given your pledge to your neighbor,
    if you have bound yourself to another,^[a](A)
2 you are snared by the utterance of your lips,^[b]
    caught by the words of your mouth.
³ So do this, my child, and save yourself,
    for you have come into your neighbor’s power:
    go, hurry,^[c] and plead with your neighbor.
