| Proverbs 6: (KJV) |
| 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. |
