chapter_Proverbs_6
Proverbs 6:1: My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand, Proverbs 6:2: Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth, Proverbs 6:3: 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, Proverbs 6:4: Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids, Proverbs 6:5: Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler. Proverbs 6:6: Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise; Proverbs 6:7: Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler, Proverbs 6:8: She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food. Proverbs 6:9: Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep? Proverbs 6:10: A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest, Proverbs 6:11: And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man. Proverbs 6:12: A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth, Proverbs 6:13: Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers, Proverbs 6:14: Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth. Proverbs 6:15: Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken &#8212; and no healing. Proverbs 6:16: These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven are abominations to His soul. Proverbs 6:17: Eyes high &#8212; tongues false &#8212; And hands shedding innocent blood &#8212; Proverbs 6:18: A heart devising thoughts of vanity &#8212; Feet hasting to run to evil &#8212; Proverbs 6:19: A false witness who doth breathe out lies &#8212; And one sending forth contentions between brethren. Proverbs 6:20: Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother. Proverbs 6:21: Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck. Proverbs 6:22: In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked &#8212; it talketh with thee. Proverbs 6:23: For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction, Proverbs 6:24: To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Proverbs 6:25: Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids. Proverbs 6:26: For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth. Proverbs 6:27: Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt? Proverbs 6:28: Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched? Proverbs 6:29: So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent. Proverbs 6:30: They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry, Proverbs 6:31: And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth. Proverbs 6:32: He who committeth adultery with a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it. Proverbs 6:33: A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away, Proverbs 6:34: For jealousy is the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance. Proverbs 6:35: He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
