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.
Proverbs Club Commentary

12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who have left the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The Wicked:
Wicked Words, Wicked Walks, Wicked Ways.
Wisdom keeps the righteous on the straight and narrow.
