2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

4Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

7Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,

8Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
