Proverbs 6:1-19

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.
