Proverbs 6:3-7 New Living Translation (NLT)

3. follow my advice and save yourself,for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy.Now swallow your pride;go and beg to have your name erased.

4. Don’t put it off; do it now!Don’t rest until you do.

5. Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,like a bird fleeing from a net.

6. Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.Learn from their ways and become wise!

7. Though they have no princeor governor or ruler to make them work,
