3. Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, when you have come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself, and plead with your friend.
4. Give not sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
5. Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7. Who having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8. Provides her food in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
