Proverbs 6:5

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Escape from that trap like a deer running from a hunter. Free yourself like a bird flying from a trap.

See the chapter Copy

God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases.

We escaped like a bird from the net of a hunter. The net broke, and we escaped!

You cannot trap birds with a net if they see you spreading it out.

I trust in the Lord, so why did you tell me to run and hide? Why did you say, “Fly like a bird to your mountain?”

Women of Jerusalem, promise me by the gazelles and wild deer, don’t awaken love, don’t arouse love, until I am ready.

My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer. Look at him standing behind our wall, staring out the window, looking through the lattice.
