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