Proverbs - Chapter: 6


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, and 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.


6:1	My sonne, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, and hast striken hands with the stranger,
6:2	Thou art snared with the wordes of thy mouth: thou art euen taken with the woordes of thine owne mouth.
6:3	Doe this nowe, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe: seeing thou art come into the hande of thy neighbour, goe, and humble thy selfe, and sollicite thy friends.
6:4	Giue no sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
6:5	Deliuer thy selfe as a doe from the hande of the hunter, and as a birde from the hande of the fouler.
6:6	Goe to the pismire, O sluggarde: beholde her waies, and be wise.
6:7	For shee hauing no guide, gouernour, nor ruler,
6:8	Prepareth her meat in the sommer, and gathereth her foode in haruest.
6:9	Howe long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggarde? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe?
6:10	Yet a litle sleepe, a litle slumber, a litle folding of the hands to sleepe.
6:11	Therefore thy pouertie commeth as one that trauaileth by the way, and thy necessitie like an armed man.
6:12	The vnthriftie man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth.
6:13	He maketh a signe with his eyes: he signifieth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers.
6:14	Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions.
6:15	Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: hee shall be destroyed suddenly without recouerie.
6:16	These sixe things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen:
6:17	The hautie eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18	An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe,
6:19	A false witnesse that speaketh lyes, and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren.
6:20	My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction.
6:21	Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke.
6:22	It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee.
6:23	For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life,
6:24	To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman.
6:25	Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids.
6:26	For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsell of bread, and a woman wil hunt for the precious life of a man.
6:27	Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt?
6:28	Or can a man go vpon coales, and his feete not be burnt?
6:29	So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife, shall not be innocent, whosoeuer toucheth her.
6:30	Men do not despise a thiefe, when he stealeth, to satisfie his soule, because he is hungrie.
6:31	But if he be founde, he shall restore seuen folde, or he shall giue all the substance of his house.
6:32	But he that committeth adulterie with a woman, he is destitute of vnderstanding: he that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule.
6:33	He shall finde a wounde and dishonour, and his reproch shall neuer be put away.
6:34	For ielousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35	He cannot beare the sight of any raunsome: neither will he consent, though thou augment the giftes.
