3So, my son, I will tell you what you should do to escape from your difficulty, so that the moneylender does not get control over your wealth: Humbly go to your friend and plead with him to cancel the agreement!
4Do not wait until tomorrow; go immediately! Do not rest until you go and talk with him.
5Save yourself, like a deer that escapes from a deer hunter or like a bird that flees from a bird hunter.
6You lazy individual, learn something from watching the ants. Become wise from observing what they do.
