Proverbs 6:20-35

My son
<01121>_,
keep
<05341> (8798)
thy father's
<01>
commandment
<04687>_,
and forsake
<05203> (8799)
not the law
<08451>
of thy mother
<0517>_:
Bind
<07194> (8798)
them continually
<08548>
upon thine heart
<03820>_,
[and] tie
<06029> (8798)
them about thy neck
<01621>_.
When thou goest
<01980> (8692)_,
it shall lead
<05148> (8686)
thee; when thou sleepest
<07901> (8800)_,
it shall keep
<08104> (8799)
thee; and [when] thou awakest
<06974> (8689)_,
it shall talk
<07878> (8799)
with thee.
For the commandment
<04687>
[is] a lamp
<05216>_;
and the law
<08451>
[is] light
<0216>_;
and reproofs
<08433>
of instruction
<04148>
[are] the way
<01870>
of life
<02416>_:
{lamp: or, candle}
To keep
<08104> (8800)
thee from the evil
<07451>
woman
<0802>_,
from the flattery
<02513>
of the tongue
<03956>
of a strange woman
<05237>_.
{of the...: or, of the strange tongue}
Lust
<02530> (8799)
not after her beauty
<03308>
in thine heart
<03824>_;
neither let her take
<03947> (8799)
thee with her eyelids
<06079>_.
For by means of
<01157>
a whorish
<02181> (8802)
woman
<0802>
[a man is brought] to a piece
<03603>
of bread
<03899>_:
and the adulteress
<0802> <0376>
will hunt
<06679> (8799)
for the precious
<03368>
life
<05315>_.
{the adulteress: Heb. the woman of a man, or, a man's wife}
Can a man
<0376>
take
<02846> (8799)
fire
<0784>
in his bosom
<02436>_,
and his clothes
<0899>
not be burned
<08313> (8735)_?
Can one
<0376>
go
<01980> (8762)
upon hot coals
<01513>_,
and his feet
<07272>
not be burned
<03554> (8735)_?
So he that goeth in
<0935> (8802)
to his neighbour's
<07453>
wife
<0802>_;
whosoever toucheth
<05060> (8802)
her shall not be innocent
<05352> (8735)_.
[Men] do not despise
<0936> (8799)
a thief
<01590>_,
if he steal
<01589> (8799)
to satisfy
<04390> (8763)
his soul
<05315>
when he is hungry
<07456> (8799)_;
But [if] he be found
<04672> (8738)_,
he shall restore
<07999> (8762)
sevenfold
<07659>_;
he shall give
<05414> (8799)
all the substance
<01952>
of his house
<01004>_.
[But] whoso committeth adultery
<05003> (8802)
with a woman
<0802>
lacketh
<02638>
understanding
<03820>_:
he [that] doeth
<06213> (8799)
it destroyeth
<07843> (8688)
his own soul
<05315>_.
{understanding: Heb. heart}
A wound
<05061>
and dishonour
<07036>
shall he get
<04672> (8799)_;
and his reproach
<02781>
shall not be wiped away
<04229> (8735)_.
For jealousy
<07068>
[is] the rage
<02534>
of a man
<01397>_:
therefore he will not spare
<02550> (8799)
in the day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05359>_.
He will not regard
<05375> (8799) <06440>
any ransom
<03724>_;
neither will he rest content
<014> (8799)_,
though thou givest many
<07235> (8686)
gifts
<07810>_.
{He will...: Heb. He will not accept the face of any ransom}
