Therefore, my son, do what I say, and free yourself, for you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor. Run, hurry, awaken your friend.
Do not grant sleep to your eyes, nor let your eyelids slumber.
Rescue yourself like a gazelle from the hand, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you lazy one, and consider her ways, and so learn wisdom.
For though she has no ruler, nor instructor, nor leader,
she provides meals for herself in the summer, and she gathers at the harvest what she may eat.
How long will you slumber, you lazy one? When will you rise up from your sleep?
