Proverbs 6:1-19
1My sonH1121, ifH518 you have becomeH6148 1suretyH6148 for your neighborH7453, Have 2givenH8628 a pledgeH3709 for a strangerH2114,2If you have been snaredH3369 with the wordsH561 of your mouthH6310, Have been caughtH3920 with the wordsH561 of your mouthH6310,3DoH6213 thisH2088 thenH645, my sonH1121, and deliverH5337 yourselfH5337; SinceH3588 you have comeH935 into the 3handH3709 of your neighborH7453, GoH1980, humbleH7511 yourself, and importuneH7292 your neighborH7453.4GiveH5414 no 4sleepH8142 to your eyesH5869, NorH408 slumberH8572 to your eyelidsH6079;5DeliverH5337 yourselfH5337 like a gazelleH6643 from the hunter’s handH3027 And like a 5birdH6833 from the handH3027 of the fowlerH3353.
6GoH1980 to the 6antH5244, O 7sluggardH6102, ObserveH7200 her waysH1870 and be wiseH2449,7WhichH834, havingH369 8noH369 chiefH7101, OfficerH7860 or rulerH4910,8PreparesH3559 her foodH3899 9in the summerH7019 And gathersH103 her provisionH3978 in the harvestH7105.9HowH4970 longH5704 will you lieH7901 downH7901, O sluggardH6102? WhenH4970 will you ariseH6965 from your sleepH8142?10“10A littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, A littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to 11restH7901”--1112Your povertyH7389 will comeH935 in like a 13vagabondH1980 And your needH4270 like 14an armedH4043 manH376.
12A 15worthlessH1100 personH120, a wickedH205 manH376, Is the one who walksH1980 with a 16perverseH6143 mouthH6310,13Who 17winksH7169 with his eyesH5869, who 18signalsH4448 with his feetH7272, Who 19pointsH3384 with his fingersH676;14Who with 20perversityH8419 in his heartH3820 continuallyH3605H6256 21devisesH2790 evilH7451, Who 2223spreadsH7971 strifeH4066.15ThereforeH5921H3651 24his calamityH343 will comeH935 suddenlyH6597; 25InstantlyH6621 he will be brokenH7665 and thereH369 will be 26noH369 healingH4832.
16ThereH1992 are sixH8337 thingsH8337 which the LordH3068 hatesH8130, Yes, sevenH7651 which are an abominationH8441 27to Him:1728HaughtyH7311 eyesH5869, a 29lyingH8267 tongueH3956, And handsH3027 that 30shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818,18A heartH3820 that devisesH2790 31wickedH205 plansH4284, 32FeetH7272 that runH7323 rapidlyH4116 to evilH7463,19A 33falseH8267 witnessH5707 who uttersH6315 liesH3577, And one who 3435spreadsH7971 strifeH4090 amongH996 brothersH251.
