Proverbs 6:4
Compare all
2 You are snared by the words of your mouth;
You are taken by the words of your mouth.
3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
4 aGive no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids. 
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
And like a bird from the hand of the1 fowler. 

The Folly of Indolence

6 aGo to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise, 
7 Which, having no1 captain,
Overseer or ruler, 
8 Provides her1 supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest. 
9 aHow long will you1 slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep? 
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 aSo shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man. 

The Wicked Man

12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13 aHe1 winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
