PROV 6:1  My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger.

PROV 6:2  Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.

PROV 6:3  Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:

PROV 6:4  Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.

PROV 6:5  Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

PROV 6:6  Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:

PROV 6:7  Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,

PROV 6:8  Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

PROV 6:9  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?

PROV 6:10  Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:

PROV 6:11  And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.

PROV 6:12  A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,

PROV 6:13  He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.

PROV 6:14  With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.

PROV 6:15  To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.

PROV 6:16  Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:

PROV 6:17  Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

PROV 6:18  A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,

PROV 6:19  A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.

PROV 6:20  My son, keep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

PROV 6:21  Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.

PROV 6:22  When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.

PROV 6:23  Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

PROV 6:24  That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.

PROV 6:25  Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

PROV 6:26  For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.

PROV 6:27  Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?

PROV 6:28  Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?

PROV 6:29  So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.

PROV 6:30  The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:

PROV 6:31  And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.

PROV 6:32  But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:

PROV 6:33  He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:

PROV 6:34  Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,

PROV 6:35  Nor will he yield to any man’s prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.
