What about this expression?
Hello
Would you take a look at the following sentences?
#1 Take care, or you'll hurt yourself.
Instead of #1 can I say #2 and #3 using "injure"?
#2 Take care , or you'll injure yourself.
#3 Take care, or you'll get injured yourself.
Are both #2 and #3 OK? Especially I wonder if you use the expression" get injured oneself."
Thank you.
