Chapter summary
Four snares in one chapter: the rash pledge (deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter); the sluggard sent to the ant ('consider her ways, and be wise'; the worthless person who winketh and soweth discord; and the six things Jehovah hateth, yea seven that are an abomination), haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a wicked-devising heart, mischief-running feet, a false witness, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
