Proverbs 6:4 Context
2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the wordes of thy mouth. 3Doe this now, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend: goe, humble thy selfe, and make sure thy friend. 4Giue not sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 5Deliuer thy selfe as a Roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6¶ Goe to the Ant, thou sluggard, consider her wayes, and be wise.
