3 So do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go – to the point of exhaustion – and give your neighbor no rest! 4 Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler 8 Yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest – 11 And poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. 12 Troublemakers and villains, who go about with corrupt mouths, 13 Who wink maliciously with their eyes, signal with their feet and motion with their fingers 14 Who plot evil with deceit in their hearts – they always stir up dissension. 15 Therefore disaster will overtake them in an instant; they will suddenly be destroyed – without remedy. 16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood (NIV)
