3. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend.
4. Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids:
5. deliver thyself as a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise:
7. which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8. provideth her bread in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
