2 You are snared by the words of your mouth;You are taken by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;For you have come into the hand of your friend:Go and humble yourself;Plead with your friend.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes,Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no captain,Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her supplies in the summer,And gathers her food in the harvest.
