Proverbs 6:1-19
1My sonH1121, ifH518 you have becomeH6148 aH6148 1guarantorH6148 for your neighborH7453, Or have givenH8628 a handshakeH8628H3709 for a strangerH2114,2If you have been ensnaredH3369 by the wordsH561 of your mouthH6310, Or caughtH3920 by the wordsH561 of your mouthH6310,3ThenH645 doH6213 thisH2088, my sonH1121, and saveH5337 yourself: SinceH3588 you have comeH935 into the 2handH3709 of your neighborH7453, GoH1980, humbleH7511 yourself, and beH7292 urgentH7292 withH7292 your neighborH7453 to free yourself.4GiveH5414 no 3sleepH8142 to your eyesH5869, NorH408 slumberH8572 to your eyelidsH6079;5SaveH5337 yourself like a gazelleH6643 from the hunter’s handH3027, And like a 4birdH6833 from the handH3027 of the fowlerH3353.
6GoH1980 to the 5antH5244, you 67lazyH6102 oneH6102, ObserveH7200 its waysH1870 and beH2449 wiseH2449,7WhichH834, havingH369 8noH369 chiefH7101, OfficerH7860, or rulerH4910,8PreparesH3559 its foodH3899 9in the summerH7019 And gathersH103 its provisionH3978 inH103 the harvestH7105.9HowH4970 longH5704 will you lieH7901 downH7901, you 10lazyH6102 oneH6102? WhenH4970 will you ariseH6965 from your sleepH8142?10“11A littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, A littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to 12restH7901,”1113Then your povertyH7389 will comeH935 inH935 like a 14drifterH1980, And your needH4270 like 15an armedH4043 manH376.
12A 16worthlessH1100 personH120, a wickedH205 manH376, Is one who walksH1980 with a 17perverseH6143 mouthH6310,13Who 18winksH7169 with his eyesH5869, who 19signalsH4448 with his feetH7272, Who 20pointsH3384 with his fingersH676;14Who, with 21perversionH8419 in his heartH3820, continuallyH3605H6256 22devisesH2790 evilH7451, Who 2324spreadsH7971 strifeH4066.15ThereforeH5921H3651 25his disasterH343 will comeH935 suddenlyH6597; 26InstantlyH6621 he will be brokenH7665 and thereH369 willH369 beH369 27noH369 healingH4832.
16ThereH1992 are sixH8337 thingsH8337 that the LordH3068 hatesH8130, SevenH7651 that are an abominationH8441 28to Him:1729HaughtyH7311 eyesH5869, a 30lyingH8267 tongueH3956, And handsH3027 that 31shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818,18A heartH3820 that devisesH2790 32wickedH205 plansH4284, 33FeetH7272 that runH7323 rapidlyH4116 to evilH7463,19A 34falseH8267 witnessH5707 who declaresH6315 liesH3577, And one who 3536spreadsH7971 strifeH4090 amongH996 brothersH251.
