Proverbs 6 Verses
1
|
My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbour, if thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger, |
2
|
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. |
3
|
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour; go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbour. |
4
|
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
5
|
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand {cf15i of the hunter}, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
6
|
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: |
7
|
Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, |
8
|
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. |
9
|
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
10
|
{cf15i Yet} a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: |
11
|
So shall thy poverty come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man. |
12
|
A worthless person, a man of iniquity; he walketh with a froward mouth; |
13
|
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he maketh signs with his fingers; |
14
|
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord. |
15
|
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken and that without remedy. |
16
|
There be six things which the LORD hateth; yea, seven which are an abomination unto him: |
17
|
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; |
18
|
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief; |
19
|
A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. |
20
|
My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: |
21
|
Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck. |
22
|
When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. |
23
|
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: |
24
|
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger-s tongue. |
25
|
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
26
|
For on account of a whorish woman {cf15i a man is brought} to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life. |
27
|
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? |
28
|
Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? |
29
|
So he that goeth in to his nieghbour-s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished. |
30
|
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: |
31
|
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. |
32
|
He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he doeth it that would destroy his own soul. |
33
|
Wounds and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. |
34
|
For jealousy is the rage of a man; and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
35
|
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. |
