Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 6 of Proverbs. The first warning concerns imprudently becoming surety for another person. The problem is not generosity, but assuming an obligation without discernment. The urgent instruction to free oneself from such a guarantee is accompanied by the observation of ants, whose diligence contrasts with laziness. The wise person learns to anticipate consequences and work before need arrives.

Errette dich wie ein Reh von der Hand und wie eine Vogel aus der Hand des Voglers.
Escápate como el corzo de la mano del cazador, Y como el ave de la mano del parancero.
Dégage-toi comme la gazelle de la main du chasseur, Comme l'oiseau de la main de l'oiseleur.
Riscuotiti, come un cavriuolo di mano del cacciatore, E come un uccello di mano dell’uccellatore
Livra-te, como a gazela da mão do caçador, e como a ave da mão do passarinheiro.
要救自己,如羚羊脫離獵人的手, 如鳥脫離捕鳥人的手。
