Proverbs 6
Revised Version 1895
1My sonH1121, ifH518 thou art becomeH6148 suretyH6148 for thy neighbour, ifH518 thou hast stricken thy handsH3709 for a stranger, 2Thou art snaredH3369 with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310, thou art takenH3920 with the wordsH561 of thy mouthH6310. 3DoH6213 this nowH3588, my sonH1121, and deliverH5337 thyself, seeingH3588 thou art comeH935 intoH935 the handH3709 of thy neighbour; goH935, humbleH7511 thyself, and importuneH7292 thy neighbour. 4GiveH5414 notH408 sleepH8142 to thine eyesH5869, norH408 slumberH8572 to thine eyelidsH6079. 5DeliverH5337 thyself as a roe from the handH3027 of the hunter, and as a birdH6833 from the handH3027 of the fowlerH3353. 6Go to the antH5244, thou sluggardH6102; considerH7200 herH413 waysH1870, and be wiseH2449: 7WhichH834 havingH369 noH369 chiefH7101, overseerH7860, or rulerH4910, 8Provideth herH3559 meat in the summerH7019, and gathereth herH3559 foodH3899 in the harvestH7105. 9HowH4970 longH5704 wilt thou sleepH8142, O sluggardH6102? when wilt thou ariseH6965 outH6965 of thy sleepH8142? 10Yet a littleH4592 sleepH8142, a littleH4592 slumberH8572, a littleH4592 foldingH2264 of the handsH3027 to sleepH8142: 11SoH1980 shall thy povertyH7389 comeH935 as a robberH1980, and thy wantH4270 as an armedH4043 manH376. 12A worthlessH1100 personH376, a manH376 of iniquityH205; he walketh with a froward mouthH6310; 13He winketh with his eyesH5869, he speaketh with his feetH7272, he maketh signs with his fingersH676; 14Frowardness is in his heartH3820, he deviseth evilH7451 continuallyH3820; he soweth discordH4090. 15Therefore shall his calamityH343 comeH935 suddenlyH6597; on a suddenH6597 shall he be brokenH7665 and that withoutH369 remedyH4832. 16There be sixH8337 things which the LORDH3068 hateth; yea, sevenH7651 which are an abominationH8441 unto him: 17HaughtyH7311 eyesH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818; 18An heartH3820 that deviseth wickedH205 imaginations, feetH7272 that be swiftH4116 in runningH7323 to mischief; 19A falseH8267 witnessH5707 that uttereth liesH8267, and he that soweth discordH4090 among brethrenH251. 20My sonH1121, keepH5341 the commandmentH4687 of thy fatherH1, and forsakeH5203 notH408 the lawH8451 of thy motherH517: 21BindH7194 them continuallyH8548 uponH5921 thine heartH3820, tieH7194 them aboutH5921 thy neckH1621. 22When thou walkest, it shall leadH5148 thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watchH8104 over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talkH7878 with thee. 23For the commandmentH4687 is a lampH5216; and the lawH8451 is lightH216; and reproofs of instructionH4148 are the wayH1870 of lifeH2416: 24To keepH8104 thee from the evilH7451 womanH802, from the flattery of the stranger’s tongueH3956. 25LustH3824 notH408 after herH3947 beautyH3308 in thine heartH3824; neitherH408 letH408 herH3947 takeH3947 thee with herH3947 eyelidsH6079. 26For on accountH1157 of a whorish womanH802 a manH376 is brought to a piece of breadH3899: and the adulteress hunteth for the preciousH3368 lifeH5315. 27CanH3808 a manH376 takeH2846 fireH784 in his bosomH2436, and his clothesH899 notH3808 be burnedH8313? 28Or canH518 one walkH1980 uponH5921 hotH1513 coalsH1513, and his feetH7272 notH3808 be scorchedH3554? 29SoH3651 he that goeth in to his nieghbour’s wifeH802; whosoever toucheth herH3605 shall notH3808 be unpunishedH5352. 30Men do notH3808 despiseH936 a thiefH1590, ifH3588 he stealH1589 to satisfyH4390 his soulH5315 when he is hungryH7456: 31But if he be foundH4672, he shall restore sevenfoldH7659; he shall giveH5414 allH3605 the substanceH1952 of his houseH1004. 32He that committeth adulteryH5003 with a womanH802 is void of understandingH3820: he doeth it that would destroyH7843 his ownH5315 soulH5315. 33WoundsH5061 and dishonour shall he get; and his reproachH2781 shall notH3808 be wiped away. 34For jealousyH7068 is the rageH2534 of a manH1397; and he will notH3808 spareH2550 in the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359. 35He will notH3808 regardH6440 anyH3605 ransomH3724; neitherH3808 will he rest content, thoughH3588 thou givest manyH7235 giftsH7810.
