Proverbs 6
My
son,
if
thou
a
be
surety
for
thy
friend,
if
thou
hast
stricken
thy
hand
with
a
stranger,
2 Thou
art
snared
with
the
words
of
thy
mouth,
thou
art
taken
with
the
words
of
thy
mouth.
3 Do
this
now,
my
son,
and
deliver
thyself,
when
thou
art
come
into
the
hand
of
thy
friend;
go,
a
humble
thyself,
and
make
sure
thy
friend.
4 Give
not
sleep
to
thine
eyes,
nor
slumber
to
thine
eyelids.
5 Deliver
thyself
as
a
roe
from
the
hand
of
the
hunter,
and
as
a
bird
from
the
hand
of
the
fowler.
6 Go
to
the
a
ant,
thou
b
sluggard;
consider
her
ways,
and
be
wise:
7 Which
having
no
guide,
overseer,
or
ruler,
8 Provideth
her
meat
in
the
summer,
and
gathereth
her
food
in
the
harvest.
9 How
long
wilt
thou
a
sleep,
O
sluggard?
when
wilt
thou
arise
out
of
thy
sleep?
10 Yet
a
little
sleep,
a
little
slumber,
a
little
folding
of
the
hands
to
sleep:
11 So
shall
thy
poverty
come
as
one
that
travelleth,
and
thy
want
as
an
armed
man.
12 A
naughty
person,
a
wicked
man,
walketh
with
a
a
froward
mouth.
13 He
winketh
with
his
eyes,
he
speaketh
with
his
feet,
he
teacheth
with
his
fingers;
14 Frowardness
is
in
his
heart,
he
deviseth
mischief
continually;
he
soweth
discord.
15 Therefore
shall
his
calamity
come
suddenly;
suddenly
shall
he
be
broken
without
a
remedy.
16 These
six
things
doth
the
Lord
a
hate:
yea,
seven
are
an
abomination
unto
him:
17 A
a
proud
look,
a
lying
tongue,
and
hands
that
shed
innocent
blood,
18 An
a
heart
that
deviseth
wicked
imaginations,
feet
that
be
swift
in
running
to
mischief,
19 A
a
false
witness
that
speaketh
b
lies,
and
he
that
soweth
c
discord
among
brethren.
20 My
son,
keep
thy
a
father's
commandment,
and
forsake
not
the
law
of
thy
mother:
21
a
Bind
them
continually
upon
thine
heart,
and
tie
them
about
thy
neck.
22 When
thou
goest,
it
shall
lead
thee;
when
thou
sleepest,
it
shall
keep
thee;
and
when
thou
awakest,
it
shall
talk
with
thee.
23 For
the
commandment
is
a
a
lamp;
and
the
law
is
light;
and
reproofs
of
instruction
are
the
way
of
life:
24 To
keep
thee
from
the
a
evil
b
woman,
from
the
flattery
of
the
tongue
of
a
strange
woman.
25
a
Lust
not
after
her
beauty
in
thine
heart;
neither
let
her
take
thee
with
her
eyelids.
26 For
by
means
of
a
whorish
woman
a
man
is
brought
to
a
piece
of
bread:
and
the
adulteress
will
hunt
for
the
precious
life.
27 Can
a
man
take
fire
in
his
bosom,
and
his
clothes
not
be
burned?
28 Can
one
go
upon
hot
coals,
and
his
feet
not
be
burned?
29 So
he
that
goeth
in
to
his
neighbour's
wife;
whosoever
toucheth
her
shall
not
be
innocent.
30 Men
do
not
despise
a
thief,
if
he
a
steal
to
satisfy
his
soul
when
he
is
hungry;
31 But
if
he
be
found,
he
shall
a
restore
sevenfold;
he
shall
give
all
the
substance
of
his
house.
32 But
whoso
committeth
a
adultery
with
a
woman
lacketh
b
understanding:
he
that
doeth
it
destroyeth
his
own
soul.
33 A
wound
and
a
dishonour
shall
he
get;
and
his
reproach
shall
not
be
wiped
away.
34 For
a
jealousy
is
the
rage
of
a
man:
therefore
he
will
not
spare
in
the
day
of
vengeance.
35 He
will
not
regard
any
ransom;
neither
will
he
rest
content,
though
thou
givest
many
gifts.
