Proverbs 6:3 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

When thou art come... — Rather, for thou hast come under the power of thy friend; thou hast made thy freedom and property dependent on him for whom thou hast become surety.

Humble thyself. — Literally, let thyself be trampled on, humbly sue.

Make sure. — Rather, assail impetuously, importune.

Proverbs 6:3

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
