Proverbs 6:20-35

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.
