Proverbs 6:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ Do this, then, my son, and free yourself,
for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power:
Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
⁴ Don’t give sleep to your eyes
or slumber to your eyelids.^(A)
5 Escape like a gazelle from a hunter,^[a]
like a bird from a fowler’s trap.^[b](B)
