Proverbs 6 1 My son , if thou be surety for thy friend , if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger , Copy 2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth , thou art taken with the words of thy mouth . Copy 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 . Copy 4 Give not sleep to thine eyes , nor slumber to thine eyelids . Copy 5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler . Copy 6 Go to the ant , thou sluggard ; consider her ways , and be wise : Copy 7 Which having no guide , overseer , or ruler , Copy 8 Provideth her meat in the summer , and gathereth her food in the harvest . Copy 9 How long wilt thou sleep , O sluggard ? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep ? Copy 10 Yet a little sleep , a little slumber , a little folding of the hands to sleep : Copy 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth , and thy want as an armed man . Copy 12 A naughty person , a wicked man , walketh with a froward mouth . Copy 13 He winketh with his eyes , he speaketh with his feet , he teacheth with his fingers ; Copy 14 Frowardness is in his heart , he deviseth mischief continually ; he soweth discord . Copy 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly ; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy . Copy 16 These six things doth the Lord hate : yea, seven are an abomination unto him : Copy 17 A proud look , a lying tongue , and hands that shed innocent blood , Copy 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations , feet that be swift in running to mischief , Copy 19 A false witness that speaketh lies , and he that soweth discord among brethren . Copy 20 My son , keep thy father’s commandment , and forsake not the law of thy mother : Copy 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart , and tie them about thy neck . Copy 22 When thou goest , it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest , it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest , it shall talk with thee. Copy 23 For the commandment is a lamp ; and the law is light ; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life : Copy 24 To keep thee from the evil woman , from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman . Copy 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart ; neither let her take thee with her eyelids . Copy 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 . Copy 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom , and his clothes not be burned ? Copy 28 Can one go upon hot coals , and his feet not be burned ? Copy 29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife ; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent . Copy 30 Men do not despise a thief , if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry ; Copy 31 But if he be found , he shall restore sevenfold ; he shall give all the substance of his house . Copy 32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding : he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul . Copy 33 A wound and dishonour shall he get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away . Copy 34 For jealousy is the rage of a man : therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance . Copy 35 He will not regard any ransom ; neither will he rest content , though thou givest many gifts . Copy
