Proverbs 6:1-3 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. My son, if you have taken a pledge on behalf of your friend, then you have bound your hand to an outsider,

2. then you are ensnared by the words of your own mouth, and taken captive by your own words.

3. Therefore, my son, do what I say, and free yourself, for you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor. Run, hurry, awaken your friend.
