Proverbs 6:1-19

1My sonH1121, if thou be suretyH6148 for thy friendH7453, if thou hast strickenH8628 thy handH3709 with a strangerH2114, 2Thou art snaredH3369 with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310, thou art takenH3920 with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310. 3DoH6213 this nowH645, my sonH1121, and deliverH5337 thyself, when thou art comeH935 into the handH3709 of thy friendH7453; goH3212, humbleH7511 thyself, and make sureH7292 thy friendH7453.1 4GiveH5414 not sleepH8142 to thine eyesH5869, nor slumberH8572 to thine eyelidsH6079. 5DeliverH5337 thyself as a roeH6643 from the handH3027 of the hunter, and as a birdH6833 from the handH3027 of the fowlerH3353.

6GoH3212 to the antH5244, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 her waysH1870, and be wiseH2449: 7Which having no guideH7101, overseerH7860, or rulerH4910, 8ProvidethH3559 her meatH3899 in the summerH7019, and gatherethH103 her foodH3978 in the harvestH7105. 9How long wilt thou sleepH7901, O sluggardH6102? when wilt thou ariseH6965 out of thy sleepH8142? 10Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH7901: 11So shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as one that travellethH1980, and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376.

12A naughtyH1100 personH120, a wickedH205 manH376, walkethH1980 with a perverseH6143 mouthH6310. 13He winkethH7169 with his eyesH5869, he speakethH4448 with his feetH7272, he teachethH3384 with his fingersH676; 14PerversenessH8419 is in his heartH3820, he devisethH2790 mischiefH7451 continuallyH6256; he sowethH7971 discordH4090H4066.2 15Therefore shall his calamityH343 comeH935 suddenlyH6597; suddenlyH6621 shall he be brokenH7665 without remedyH4832.

16These sixH8337 things doth YhwhH3068 hateH8130: yea, sevenH7651 are an abominationH8441 unto himH5315:3 17A proudH7311 lookH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818,4 18An heartH3820 that devisethH2790 wickedH205 imaginationsH4284, feetH7272 that be swiftH4116 in runningH7323 to mischiefH7451, 19A falseH8267 witnessH5707 that speakethH6315 liesH3577, and he that sowethH7971 discordH4090 among brethrenH251.
