Proverbs 6:3 in Context — Proverbs 6

1 HIJO mío, si salieres fiador por tu amigo, si tocaste tu mano por el extraño,

2 Enlazado eres con las palabras de tu boca, y preso con las razones de tu boca.

3 Haz esto ahora, hijo mío, y líbrate, ya que has caído en la mano de tu prójimo: ve, humíllate, y asegúrate de tu amigo.

4 No des sueño á tus ojos, ni á tus párpados adormecimiento.

5 Escápate como el corzo de la mano [del cazador], y como el ave de la mano del parancero.
