Proverbs 6:1 - The Message

Dear friend, if you’ve gone into hock with your neighbor or locked yourself into a deal with a stranger,
If you’ve impulsively promised the shirt off your back
   and now find yourself shivering out in the cold,
Friend, don’t waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess.

Don’t procrastinate—

Run like a deer from the hunter,
   fly like a bird from the trapper!
