Proverbs 6:2-4

Modern English Version

² you are snared with the words of your mouth;
    you are taken with the words of your mouth.
³ Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself;
    when you have come into the hand of your friend,
go and humble yourself;
    plead with your friend.
⁴ Give no sleep to your eyes,
    nor slumber to your eyelids.
