Proverbs 6:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ Do this now, my son, and extricate yourself,
since you put yourself in your friend’s power:
go, humble yourself, and pester your friend;
⁴ give your eyes no sleep,
give your eyelids no rest;
⁵ break free, like a gazelle from the [hunter’s] trap,
like a bird from the grip of the fowler.
