20_PRO_06_01 my son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [ if] thou hast stricken thy hand with A stranger,
20_PRO_06_02 thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
20_PRO_06_03 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.
20_PRO_06_04 give not Sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
20_PRO_06_05 deliver thyself as A roe from the hand [ of the hunter], And as A bird from the hand of the fowler.
20_PRO_06_06 go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, And be wise:
20_PRO_06_07 which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
20_PRO_06_08 provideth her meat in the summer, [ And] gathereth her food in the harvest.
20_PRO_06_09 how long Wilt thou Sleep, O sluggard? when Wilt thou Arise out of thy Sleep?
20_PRO_06_10 [ yet] A little Sleep, A little slumber, A little folding of the hands to Sleep:
20_PRO_06_11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, And thy want as an armed man.
20_PRO_06_12 A naughty person, A wicked man, walketh with A froward mouth.
20_PRO_06_13 he winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
20_PRO_06_14 frowardness [ Is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
20_PRO_06_15 therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
20_PRO_06_16 These six [ things] Doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [ are] an abomination unto him:
20_PRO_06_17 A proud Look, A lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
20_PRO_06_18 an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
20_PRO_06_19 A false witness [ that] speaketh lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
20_PRO_06_20 my son, keep thy father's commandment, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
20_PRO_06_21 bind them continually upon thine heart, [ And] tie them about thy neck.
20_PRO_06_22 when thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; And [ when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
20_PRO_06_23 for the commandment [ Is] A lamp; And the law [ Is] light; And reproofs of instruction [ are] the way of life:
20_PRO_06_24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of A strange woman.
20_PRO_06_25 lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
20_PRO_06_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.
20_PRO_06_27 can A man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
20_PRO_06_28 can one go upon hot coals, And his feet not be burned?
20_PRO_06_29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
20_PRO_06_30 [ men] do not despise A thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he Is hungry;
20_PRO_06_31 but [ if] he be found, he shall Restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
20_PRO_06_32 [ but] whoso committeth adultery with A woman lacketh understanding: he [ that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
20_PRO_06_33 A wound And dishonour shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
20_PRO_06_34 for jealousy [ Is] the rage of A man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
20_PRO_06_35 he will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest Many gifts.
