2. If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,
3. Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.
4. Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;
5. Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise,
7. Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,
8. Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.
9. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
