|
|
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast
stricken thy hand with a stranger,
|
|
|
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken
with the words of thy mouth.
|
|
|
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come
into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure
thy friend.
|
|
|
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
|
|
|
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a
bird from the hand of the fowler.
|
|
|
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
|
|
|
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
|
|
|
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in
the harvest.
|
|
|
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out
of thy sleep?
|
|
|
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the
hands to sleep:
|
|
|
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want
as an armed man.
|
|
|
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
|
|
|
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he
teacheth with his fingers;
|
|
|
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually;
he soweth discord.
|
|
|
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he
be broken without remedy.
|
|
|
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an
abomination unto him:
|
|
|
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent
blood,
|
|
|
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift
in running to mischief,
|
|
|
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord
among brethren.
|
|
|
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law
of thy mother:
|
|
|
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy
neck.
|
|
|
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it
shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with
thee.
|
|
|
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and
reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
|
|
|
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the
tongue of a strange woman.
|
|
|
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take
thee with her eyelids.
|
|
|
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of
bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
|
|
|
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be
burned?
|
|
|
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
|
|
|
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever
toucheth her shall not be innocent.
|
|
|
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul
when he is hungry;
|
|
|
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give
all the substance of his house.
|
|
|
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
|
|
|
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not
be wiped away.
|
|
|
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare
in the day of vengeance.
006:035 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content,
though thou givest many gifts.
