Proverbs 6:2-4

International Standard Version

² trapped by your own words,
    and caught by your own words,
³ then do this, my son, and deliver yourself,
    because you have come under your neighbor’s control.^[a]
Go, humble yourself!
    Plead passionately with your neighbor!
⁴ Don’t allow yourself to sleep
    or even to close your eyes.
