Proverbs 6:35 - Prayer Tents

Financial Entanglements

6My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,H1121H6148H7453H8628H3709H2114

2you have been trapped by the words of your lips— ensnared by the words of your mouth.H3369H561H6310H3920H561H6310

3Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor's power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.H6213H645H1121H5337H935H3709H7453H3212H7511H7292H7453

4Don't give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.H5414H8142H5869H8572H6079

5Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a fowler's trap.H5337H6643H3027H6833H3027H3353

Laziness

6Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.H3212H5244H6102H7200H1870H2449

7Without leader, administrator, or ruler,H7101H7860H4910

8it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest.H3559H3899H7019H103H3978H7105

9How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?H7901H6102H6965H8142

10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H7901

11and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H376

The Malicious Man

12A worthless person, a wicked man, who goes around speaking dishonestly,H1100H120H205H376H1980H6143H6310

13who winks his eyes, signals with his feet, and gestures with his fingers,H7169H5869H4448H7272H3384H676

14who plots evil with perversity in his heart— he stirs up trouble constantly.H8419H3820H2790H7451H6256H7971H4066H4090

15Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly; he will be shattered instantly— beyond recovery.H343H935H6597H6621H7665H4832

What the Lord Hates

16Six things the LORD hates; in fact, seven are detestable to Him:H8337H3068H8130H7651H8441H5315

17arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,H7311H5869H8267H3956H3027H8210H5355H1818

18a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil,H3820H2790H205H4284H7272H4116H7323H7451

19a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.H8267H5707H6315H3577H7971H4090H251

Warning against Adultery

20My son, keep your father's command, and don't reject your mother's teaching.H1121H5341H1H4687H5203H8451H517

21Always bind them to your heart; tie them around your neck.H7194H8548H3820H6029H1621

22When you walk here and there, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you.H1980H5148H7901H8104H6974H7878

23For a commandment is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective instructions are the way to life.H4687H5216H8451H216H8433H4148H1870H2416

24They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a stranger.H8104H7451H802H2513H3956H5237

25Don't lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.H2530H3308H3824H3947H6079

26For a prostitute's fee is only a loaf of bread, but an adulteress goes after [your] very life.H1157H2181H802H3603H3899H802H376H6679H3368H5315

27Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?H376H2846H784H2436H899H8313

28Can a man walk on coals without scorching his feet?H376H1980H1513H7272H3554

29So it is with the one who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.H935H7453H802H5060H5352

30People don't despise the thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.H936H1590H1589H4390H5315H7456

31Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much; he must give up all the wealth in his house.H4672H7999H7659H5414H1952H1004

32The one who commits adultery lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.H5003H802H2638H3820H6213H7843H5315

33He will get a beating and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed.H5061H7036H4672H2781H4229

34For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.H7068H2534H1397H2550H3117H5359

35He will not be appeased by anything or be persuaded by lavish gifts.H5375H6440H3724H14H7235H7810
