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