6My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,H1121H6148H7453H8628H3709H21142you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth.H3369H561H6310H3920H561H63103So do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go—to the point of exhaustion—and give your neighbor no rest!H6213H645H1121H5337H935H3709H7453H3212H7511H7292H74534Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids.H5414H8142H5869H8572H60795Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.H5337H6643H3027H6833H3027H33536Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!H3212H5244H6102H7200H1870H24497It has no commander, no overseer or ruler,H7101H7860H49108yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.H3559H3899H7019H103H3978H71059How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?H7901H6102H6965H814210A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H790111and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man.H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H37612Troublemakers and villains, who go about with corrupt mouths,H1100H120H205H376H1980H6143H631013who wink maliciously with their eyes, signal with their feet and motion with their fingers,H7169H5869H4448H7272H3384H67614who plot evil with deceit in their hearts—they always stir up dissension.H8419H3820H2790H7451H6256H7971H4066H409015Therefore disaster will overtake them in an instant; they will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.H343H935H6597H6621H7665H483216There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:H8337H3068H8130H7651H8441H531517haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,H7311H5869H8267H3956H3027H8210H5355H181818a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,H3820H2790H205H4284H7272H4116H7323H745119a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up dissension in the community.H8267H5707H6315H3577H7971H4090H25120My son, keep your father's command and do not forsake your mother's teaching.H1121H5341H1H4687H5203H8451H51721Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck.H7194H8548H3820H6029H162122When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.H1980H5148H7901H8104H6974H787823For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life,H4687H5216H8451H216H8433H4148H1870H241624keeping you from your neighbor's wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.H8104H7451H802H2513H3956H523725Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.H2530H3308H3824H3947H607926For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread, but another man's wife preys on your very life.H1157H2181H802H3603H3899H802H376H6679H3368H531527Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned?H376H2846H784H2436H899H831328Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?H376H1980H1513H7272H355429So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.H935H7453H802H5060H535230People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.H936H1590H1589H4390H5315H745631Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house.H4672H7999H7659H5414H1952H100432But a man who commits adultery has no sense; whoever does so destroys himself.H5003H802H2638H3820H6213H7843H531533Blows and disgrace are his lot, and his shame will never be wiped away.H5061H7036H4672H2781H422934For jealousy arouses a husband's fury, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.H7068H2534H1397H2550H3117H535935He will not accept any compensation; he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.H5375H6440H3724H14H7235H7810
