Proverbs 6
1. Son, if you endorse a note for someone you hardly know, guaranteeing his debt, you are in serious trouble.
2. You may have trapped yourself by your agreement.
3. Quick! Get out of it if you possibly can! Swallow your pride; don't let embarrassment stand in the way. Go and beg to have your name erased.
4. Don't put it off. Do it now. Don't rest until you do.
5. If you can get out of this trap you have saved yourself like a deer that escapes from a hunter, or a bird from the net.
6. Take a lesson from the ants, you lazy fellow. Learn from their ways and be wise!
7. For though they have no king to make them work,
8. yet they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.
9. But you - all you do is sleep. When will you wake up?
10. "Let me sleep a little longer!" Sure, just a little more!
11. And as you sleep, poverty creeps upon you like a robber and destroys you; want attacks you in full armor.

You'll find a new thought here
every morning,
from God's Word
so visit us again tomorrow!
