Proverbs 6:4

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

Proverbs 6:4 In-Context

2 if you are snared in the utterance of your lips, caught in the words of your mouth;

3 then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbor's power: go, hasten, and importune your neighbor.

4 Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

5 save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
