Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Proverbs 6:5 in context
Proverbs 6:2–8
2
you are trapped by the words of your mouth;
you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
3
Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself,
since you have come into the hand of your neighbor.
Go, humble yourself.
Press your plea with your neighbor.
4
Give no sleep to your eyes,
nor slumber to your eyelids.
5
Selected verse
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 her ways, and be wise;
7
which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8
provides her bread in the summer,
and gathers her food in the harvest.
