Proverbs 6:3-8 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. then do this, my son, and save yourself,for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.

4. Give your eyes no sleepand your eyelids no slumber;

5. save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6. Go to the ant, O sluggard;consider her ways, and be wise.

7. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,

8. she prepares her bread in summerand gathers her food in harvest.
