3. then do this, my son, and free yourself, since you fell into your neighbor’s hand: Go, humble yourself, plead with your neighbor!

4. Allow no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.

5. Escape like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

6. Go to the ant, you slacker— consider its ways and be wise!

7. It has no commander, no overseer or ruler.

8. Yet it prepares its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

9. How long will you lie there, slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
