Scripture |
| 1 |
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast stricken thy hand with 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, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
|
| 4 |
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
|
| 5 |
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [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 guide, 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 |
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
|
| 11 |
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
|
| 12 |
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
|
| 13 |
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
|
| 14 |
Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
|
| 15 |
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
|
| 16 |
These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
|
| 17 |
A proud look, 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] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
|
| 20 |
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
|
| 21 |
Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.
|
| 22 |
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep 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 tongue of a strange woman.
|
| 25 |
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
|
| 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.
|
| 27 |
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
|
| 28 |
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
|
| 29 |
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
|
| 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 |
[But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
|
| 33 |
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
|
| 34 |
For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore 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.
