Proverbs 6:1 My son,1121 if thou be surety6148 for thy friend,7453if thou hast stricken8628 thy hand3709 with a stranger,21142 Thou art snared3369 with the words561 of thy mouth,6310 thou art taken3920 with the words561 of thy mouth.63103 Do6213 this now,645 my son,1121 and deliver5337 thyself, when thou art come935 into the hand3709 of thy friend;7453 go,3212 humble7511 thyself, and make sure7292 thy friend.7453{Or, so shalt thou prevail with thy friend}4 Give5414 not sleep8142 to thine eyes,5869 nor slumber8572 to thine eyelids.60795 Deliver5337 thyself as a roe6643 from the hand3027ofthehunter, and as a bird6833 from the hand3027 of the fowler.3353
Proverbs 6:6 Go3212 to the ant,5244 thou sluggard;6102 consider7200 her ways,1870 and be wise:24497 Which having no guide,7101 overseer,7860 or ruler,49108 Provideth3559 her meat3899 in the summer,7019and gathereth103 her food3978 in the harvest.71059 How long wilt thou sleep,7901 O sluggard?6102 when wilt thou arise6965 out of thy sleep?814210Yet a little4592 sleep,8142 a little4592 slumber,8572 a little4592 folding2264 of the hands3027 to sleep:790111 So shall thy poverty7389 come935 as one that travelleth,1980 and thy want4270 as an armed4043 man.376
Proverbs 6:12 A naughty1100 person,120 a wicked205 man,376 walketh1980 with a froward6143 mouth.631013 He winketh7169 with his eyes,5869 he speaketh4448 with his feet,7272 he teacheth3384 with his fingers;67614 Frowardness8419is in his heart,3820 he deviseth2790 mischief7451 continually;6256 he soweth7971{Heb. casteth forth} discord.4066409015 Therefore shall his calamity343 come935 suddenly;6597 suddenly6621 shall he be broken7665 without remedy.4832
Proverbs 6:16 These six8337things doth the LORD3068 hate:8130 yea, seven7651are an abomination8441 unto him:5315{Heb. of his soul}17 A proud7311 look,5869{Heb. haughty eyes} a lying8267 tongue,3956 and hands3027 that shed8210 innocent5355 blood,181818 An heart3820 that deviseth2790 wicked205 imaginations,4284 feet7272 that be swift4116 in running7323 to mischief,745119 A false8267 witness5707that speaketh6315 lies,3577 and he that soweth7971 discord4090 among brethren.251
Proverbs 6:20 My son,1121 keep5341 thy father's1 commandment,4687 and forsake5203 not the law8451 of thy mother:51721 Bind7194 them continually8548 upon thine heart,3820and tie6029 them about thy neck.162122 When thou goest,1980 it shall lead5148 thee; when thou sleepest,7901 it shall keep8104 thee; and when thou awakest,6974 it shall talk7878 with thee.
23 For the commandment4687is a lamp;5216{Or, candle} and the law8451is light;216 and reproofs8433 of instruction4148are the way1870 of life:241624 To keep8104 thee from the evil7451 woman,802 from the flattery2513 of the tongue3956 of a strange woman.5237{Or, of the strange tongue}
Proverbs 6:25 Lust2530 not after her beauty3308 in thine heart;3824 neither let her take3947 thee with her eyelids.607926 For by means of1157 a whorish2181 woman802amanisbrought to a piece3603 of bread:3899 and the adulteress802376{Heb. the woman of a man, or a mans wife} will hunt6679 for the precious3368 life.531527 Can a man376 take2846 fire784 in his bosom,2436 and his clothes899 not be burned?831328 Can one376 go1980 upon hot coals,1513 and his feet7272 not be burned?355429 So he that goeth in935 to his neighbour's7453 wife;802 whosoever toucheth5060 her shall not be innocent.535230Men do not despise936 a thief,1590 if he steal1589 to satisfy4390 his soul5315 when he is hungry;745631 But if he be found,4672 he shall restore7999 sevenfold;7659 he shall give5414 all the substance1952 of his house.100432But whoso committeth adultery5003 with a woman802 lacketh2638 understanding:3820{Heb. heart} he that doeth6213 it destroyeth7843 his own soul.531533 A wound5061 and dishonour7036 shall he get;4672 and his reproach2781 shall not be wiped away.422934 For jealousy7068is the rage2534 of a man:1397 therefore he will not spare2550 in the day3117 of vengeance.535935 He will not regard53756440 any ransom;3724{Heb. he will not accept the face of any ransom} neither will he rest content,14 though thou givest many7235 gifts.7810
