3My son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil men: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety.
4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber with thine eyelids;
5that thou mayest deliver thyself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare.
6Go to the ant, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he.
7For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master,
8he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest.
8aOr go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work;
8bwhose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all:
8cthough weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom.
9How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep?
