Proverbs 6:5
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
2 You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, Like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;
7 Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
8 Provides her bread in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.
