Night of the Hunter

If you have been trapped
by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
Free yourself,
like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
~ Proverbs 6
