It's a trap!

 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor
or entered into an agreement with  a stranger,
you have been trapped by the words of your lips —
ensnared by the words of your mouth.
Do this, then, my son, and free yourself,
for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power:
Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
Don’t give sleep to your eyes
or slumber to your eyelids.
Escape like a gazelle from a hunter,
like a bird from a fowler’s trap.
Proverbs 6:1-5

Financial entanglements are like traps; no matter which side you're one, free yourself as soon as possible!
