I'd suggest deleting this one.
It's a very unlikely imperative sentence.

This is from the Tanaka Corpus and was obviously meant as a verb phrase match, not a sentence match.

Jump out of the frying pan into the fire.
小難をのがれて大難に陥る。

I wonder if the translations into the other languages make sense.

Yerwel-d seg lmeqli, yeɣli deg tmes.
Vom Regen in die Traufe kommen.
Salta dalla padella alla brace.
Hopp ut av stekepannen og inn i ilden.
Li trafis el sub pluvo en riveron.
Saute de la poêle dans le feu.
Iskoči iz tiganja i pravo u vatru.

If not, I'd suggest all of these should be deleted.

We have a good example sentence using this phrase here.
