Proverbs 6:1-35

My son
<01121>_,
if thou be surety
<06148> (8804)
for thy friend
<07453>_,
[if] thou hast stricken
<08628> (8804)
thy hand
<03709>
with a stranger
<02114> (8801)_,
Thou art snared
<03369> (8738)
with the words
<0561>
of thy mouth
<06310>_,
thou art taken
<03920> (8738)
with the words
<0561>
of thy mouth
<06310>_.
Do
<06213> (8798)
this now
<0645>_,
my son
<01121>_,
and deliver
<05337> (8734)
thyself, when thou art come
<0935> (8804)
into the hand
<03709>
of thy friend
<07453>_;
go
<03212> (8798)_,
humble
<07511> (8690)
thyself, and make sure
<07292> (8798)
thy friend
<07453>_.
{and make...: or, so shalt thou prevail with thy friend}
Give
<05414> (8799)
not sleep
<08142>
to thine eyes
<05869>_,
nor slumber
<08572>
to thine eyelids
<06079>_.
Deliver
<05337> (8734)
thyself as a roe
<06643>
from the hand
<03027>
[of the hunter], and as a bird
<06833>
from the hand
<03027>
of the fowler
<03353>_.
Go
<03212> (8798)
to the ant
<05244>_,
thou sluggard
<06102>_;
consider
<07200> (8798)
her ways
<01870>_,
and be wise
<02449> (8798)_:
Which having no guide
<07101>_,
overseer
<07860> (8802)_,
or ruler
<04910> (8802)_,
Provideth
<03559> (8686)
her meat
<03899>
in the summer
<07019>_,
[and] gathereth
<0103> (8804)
her food
<03978>
in the harvest
<07105>_.
How long wilt thou sleep
<07901> (8799)_,
O sluggard
<06102>_?
when wilt thou arise
<06965> (8799)
out of thy sleep
<08142>_?
[Yet] a little
<04592>
sleep
<08142>_,
a little
<04592>
slumber
<08572>_,
a little
<04592>
folding
<02264>
of the hands
<03027>
to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:
So shall thy poverty
<07389>
come
<0935> (8804)
as one that travelleth
<01980> (8764)_,
and thy want
<04270>
as an armed
<04043>
man
<0376>_.
A naughty
<01100>
person
<0120>_,
a wicked
<0205>
man
<0376>_,
walketh
<01980> (8802)
with a froward
<06143>
mouth
<06310>_.
He winketh
<07169> (8802)
with his eyes
<05869>_,
he speaketh
<04448> (8802)
with his feet
<07272>_,
he teacheth
<03384> (8688)
with his fingers
<0676>_;
Frowardness
<08419>
[is] in his heart
<03820>_,
he deviseth
<02790> (8802)
mischief
<07451>
continually
<06256>_;
he soweth
<07971> (8762)
discord
<04066> (8675) <04090>_.
{soweth: Heb. casteth forth}
Therefore shall his calamity
<0343>
come
<0935> (8799)
suddenly
<06597>_;
suddenly
<06621>
shall he be broken
<07665> (8735)
without remedy
<04832>_.
These six
<08337>
[things] doth the LORD
<03068>
hate
<08130> (8804)_:
yea, seven
<07651>
[are] an abomination
<08441>
unto him
<05315>_:
{unto...: Heb. of his soul}
A proud
<07311> (8802)
look
<05869>_,
a lying
<08267>
tongue
<03956>_,
and hands
<03027>
that shed
<08210> (8802)
innocent
<05355>
blood
<01818>_,
{A proud...: Heb. Haughty eyes}
An heart
<03820>
that deviseth
<02790> (8802)
wicked
<0205>
imaginations
<04284>_,
feet
<07272>
that be swift
<04116> (8764)
in running
<07323> (8800)
to mischief
<07451>_,
A false
<08267>
witness
<05707>
[that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)
lies
<03577>_,
and he that soweth
<07971> (8764)
discord
<04090>
among brethren
<0251>_.
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}
