2Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.
3Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:
4Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.
5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:
7Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,
8Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?
10Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:
11And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.
12A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,
13He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.
