  • Proverbs 6:1-11 (ESV)  1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,

    have given your pledge for a stranger,

    2 if you are snared in the words of your mouth,

    caught in the words of your mouth,

    3 then do this, my son, and save yourself,

    for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:

    go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.

    4 Give your eyes no sleep

    and your eyelids no slumber;

    5 save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,

    like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

    6 Go to the ant, O sluggard;

    consider her ways, and be wise.

    7 Without having any chief,

    officer, or ruler,

    8 she prepares her bread in summer

    and gathers her food in harvest.

    9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard?

    When will you arise from your sleep?

    10 A little sleep, a little slumber,

    a little folding of the hands to rest,

    11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber,

    and want like an armed man.
