Proverbs 6

1My sonH1121, if thou hast become suretyH6148 for thy friendH7453, if thou hast stricken thy handH3709 for a stranger, 2thou art snared with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310, thou art takenH3920 with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310. 3Do this now, my sonH1121, and deliverH5337 thyself, since thou hast comeH935 into the handH3709 of thy friendH7453: goH935, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friendH7453. 4GiveH5414 not sleepH8142 to thine eyesH5869, nor slumberH8572 to thine eyelidsH6079: 5deliverH5337 thyself as a gazelle from the handH3027 [of the hunter], and as a birdH6833 from the handH3027 of the fowlerH3353. 6Go to the ant, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 her waysH1870 and be wiseH2449: 7which having no chief, overseer, or rulerH4910, 8provideth her breadH3899 in the summerH7019, [and] gathereth her foodH3899 in the harvestH7105. 9How long, sluggardH6102, wilt thou lieH7901 down? WhenH4970 wilt thou ariseH6965 out of thy sleepH8142? 10A littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to restH7901! 11So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed manH376. 12A manH376 of Belial, a wicked personH376, is he that goeth about with a perverse mouthH6310; 13he winketh with his eyesH5869, he speaketh with his feetH7272, he teacheth with his fingersH676; 14deceits are in his heartH3820; he deviseth mischief at all timesH6256, he soweth discords. 15ThereforeH3651 shall his calamityH343 comeH935 suddenlyH6597: in a moment shall he be brokenH7665, and without remedy. 16These sixH8337 [thingsH8441] doth Jehovah hateH8130, yea, sevenH7651 are an abominationH8441 unto him: 17haughtyH7311 eyesH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818; 18a heartH3820 that deviseth wicked imaginations; feetH7272 that are swift in runningH7323 to mischief; 19a false witnessH5707 that uttereth liesH8267, and he that soweth discords among brethren. 20My sonH1121, observeH5341 thy father's commandmentH4687, and forsake not the teaching of thy motherH517; 21bindH7194 them continuallyH8548 upon thy heartH3820, tieH7194 them about thy neckH1621: 22when thou walkest, it shall leadH5148 thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepH8104 thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23For the commandmentH4687 is a lampH5216, and the teaching a lightH216, and reproofs of instruction are the wayH1870 of lifeH2416: 24to keepH8104 thee from the evilH7451 womanH802, from the flattery of the tongueH3956 of a strange womanH802. 25Lust not after her beautyH3308 in thy heartH3824, neither let her takeH3947 thee with her eyelidsH6079; 26for by means of a whorish womanH802 [a manH376 is brought] to a loafH3603 of breadH3899, and another's wifeH802 doth huntH6679 for the preciousH3368 soulH5315. 27Can a manH376 take fireH784 in his bosomH2436, and his garmentsH899 not be burnedH8313? 28Can oneH376 goH1980 upon hot coalsH1513, and his feetH7272 not be scorched? 29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wifeH802: whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 30They do not despiseH936 a thiefH1590, if he stealH1589 to satisfy his soulH5315 when he is hungryH7456: 31and if he be foundH4672, he shall restore sevenfoldH7659; he shall giveH5414 all the substance of his houseH1004. 32Whoso committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his ownH5315 soulH5315. 33A wound and contempt shall he get; and his reproachH2781 shall not be wiped away. 34For jealousyH7068 is the rageH2534 of a manH1397, and he will not spareH2550 in the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359; 35he will not regard any ransomH3724, neither will he rest content though thou multipliest [thy] giftsH7810.
