Proverbs 6: 1-11 You may have trapped yourself by your agreement. ³ Quick! Get out of it if you possibly can! Swallow your pride; don’t put let embarassment stand in the way. Go and beg to have your name erased. 4 Don’t put it off. Do it right now. Don’t rest until you do. ⁵ If you can get out of this trap you have saved yourself like a deer that escapes from a hunter, or a bird from a net.
6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazy fellow. Learn from their ways and be wise! ⁷ For though they have no king to make them work, ⁸ yet they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter. ⁹ But you- all you do is sleep. When will you wake up?
10 Let me sleep a little longer!” Sure, just a little more! ¹¹ And as you sleep, poverty creeps upon you like a robber and destroys you; wants attacks you in full armor. TLBV
