Making Promises To Pay A Debt

Proverbs 6:1-5

1  My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, 
2  Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. 
3  Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. 
4  Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 
5  Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
