    Proverbs 6
    • 1   My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,
    • 2   Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,
    • 3   Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
    • 4   Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,
    • 5   Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
    • 6   Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
    • 7   Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,
    • 8   She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
    • 9   Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
    • 10   A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
    • 11   And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
    • 12   A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth,
    • 13   Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,
    • 14   Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
    • 15   Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken--and no healing.
    • 16   These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven are abominations to His soul.
    • 17   Eyes high--tongues false--And hands shedding innocent blood--
    • 18   A heart devising thoughts of vanity--Feet hasting to run to evil--
    • 19   A false witness who doth breathe out lies--And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
    • 20   Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.
    • 21   Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.
    • 22   In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked--it talketh with thee.
    • 23   For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,
    • 24   To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
    • 25   Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.
    • 26   For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
    • 27   Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
    • 28   Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
    • 29   So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
    • 30   They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,
    • 31   And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
    • 32   He who committeth adultery with a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
    • 33   A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
    • 34   For jealousy is the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
    • 35   He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
