# Proverbs 6
|
||
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
|
||
1. My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,
|
||
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
||
2. if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,
|
||
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
||
3. then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.
|
||
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
||
4. Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;
|
||
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
||
5. save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
|
||
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
||
6. Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
|
||
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
||
7. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,
|
||
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
||
8. she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
|
||
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
||
9. How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
|
||
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
||
10. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
|
||
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
||
11. and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
|
||
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
||
12. A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
|
||
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
||
13. winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,
|
||
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
||
14. with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
|
||
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
||
15. therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
|
||
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
||
16. There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
|
||
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
||
17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
|
||
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
||
18. a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
|
||
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
||
19. a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
|
||
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
||
20. My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
|
||
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
||
21. Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
|
||
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
||
22. When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
|
||
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
||
23. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
|
||
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
|
||
24. to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
|
||
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
|
||
25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
|
||
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
|
||
26. for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
|
||
<a id="27" name="27"></a>
|
||
27. Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
|
||
<a id="28" name="28"></a>
|
||
28. Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
|
||
<a id="29" name="29"></a>
|
||
29. So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
|
||
<a id="30" name="30"></a>
|
||
30. People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
|
||
<a id="31" name="31"></a>
|
||
31. but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
|
||
<a id="32" name="32"></a>
|
||
32. He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
|
||
<a id="33" name="33"></a>
|
||
33. He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
|
||
<a id="34" name="34"></a>
|
||
34. For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
|
||
<a id="35" name="35"></a>
|
||
35. He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
