Proverbs
Chapters 6:2-8
New International Version Anglicized
2you have been trapped by what you said,ensnared by the words of your mouth.
3So do this, my son, to free yourself,since you have fallen into your neighbour’s hands:go – to the point of exhaustion –and give your neighbour no rest!
4Allow no sleep to your eyes,no slumber to your eyelids.
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6Go to the ant, you sluggard;consider its ways and be wise!
7It has no commander,no overseer or ruler,
8yet it stores its provisions in summerand gathers its food at harvest.
