Proverbs 6:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. Deliver thyself as a roe - צבי tsebi, the antelope. If thou art got into the snare, get out if thou possibly canst; make every struggle and excertion, as the antelope taken in the net, and the bird taken in the snare would, in order to get free from thy captivity.
