Proverbs 6:2-13

²then you have laid a trap for yourself by your promise and you have been caught by the words of your mouth.

³When you are caught by your words, my son, do this and save yourself, since you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor; go and humble yourself and make your case before your neighbor.

⁴Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber.

⁵Save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

⁶Look at the ant, you lazy person, consider her ways, and be wise.

⁷It has no commander, officer, or ruler,

⁸yet it prepares its food in the summer and during the harvest it stores up what it will eat.

⁹How long will you sleep, you lazy person? When will you rise from your sleep?

¹⁰“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest”—

¹¹and your poverty will come like a robber and your needs like an armed soldier.

¹²A worthless person—a wicked man— lives by the crookedness of his speech,

¹³winking his eyes, making signals with his feet and pointing with his fingers.
