6MY SON, if you have become security for your neighbor, if you have given your pledge for a stranger {or} another,H1121H6148H7453H8628H3709H2114 2You are snared with the words of your lips, you are caught by the speech of your mouth.H3369H561H6310H3920H561H6310 3Do this now [at once and earnestly], my son, and deliver yourself when you have put yourself into the power of your neighbor; go, bestir {and} humble yourself, and beg your neighbor [to pay his debt and thereby release you].H6213H645H1121H5337H935H3709H7453H3212H7511H7292H7453 4Give not [unnecessary] sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;H5414H8142H5869H8572H6079 5Deliver yourself, as a roe {or} gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.H5337H6643H3027H6833H3027H3353 6Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise!--H3212H5244H6102H7200H1870H2449 7Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,H7101H7860H4910 8Provides her food in the summer and gathers her supplies in the harvest.H3559H3899H7019H103H3978H7105 9How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?H7901H6102H6965H8142 10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down {and} sleep--H4592H8142H4592H8572H4592H2264H3027H7901 11So will your poverty come like a robber {or} one who travels [with slowly but surely approaching steps] and your want like an armed man [making you helpless].H7389H935H1980H4270H4043H376 12A worthless person, a wicked man, is he who goes about with a perverse (contrary, wayward) mouth.H1100H120H205H376H1980H6143H6310 13He winks with his eyes, he speaks by shuffling {or} tapping with his feet, he makes signs [to mislead and deceive] {and} teaches with his fingers.H7169H5869H4448H7272H3384H676 14Willful {and} contrary in his heart, he devises trouble, vexation, {and} evil continually; he lets loose discord {and} sows it.H8419H3820H2790H7451H6256H7971H4066H4090 15Therefore upon him shall the crushing weight of calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken, and that without remedy.H343H935H6597H6621H7665H4832 16These six things the Lord hates, indeed, seven are an abomination to Him:H8337H3068H8130H7651H8441H5315 17A proud look [the spirit that makes one overestimate himself and underestimate others], a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,H7311H5869H8267H3956H3027H8210H5355H1818 18A heart that manufactures wicked thoughts {and} plans, feet that are swift in running to evil,H3820H2790H205H4284H7272H4116H7323H7451 19A false witness who breathes out lies [even under oath], and he who sows discord among his brethren.H8267H5707H6315H3577H7971H4090H251 20My son, keep your father's [God-given] commandment and forsake not the law of [God] your mother [taught you].H1121H5341H1H4687H5203H8451H517 21Bind them continually upon your heart and tie them about your neck.H7194H8548H3820H6029H1621 22When you go, they [the words of your parents' God] shall lead you; when you sleep, they shall keep you; and when you waken, they shall talk with you.H1980H5148H7901H8104H6974H7878 23For the commandment is a lamp, and the whole teaching [of the law] is light, and reproofs of discipline are the way of life,H4687H5216H8451H216H8433H4148H1870H2416 24To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a loose woman.H8104H7451H802H2513H3956H5237 25Lust not after her beauty in your heart, neither let her capture you with her eyelids.H2530H3308H3824H3947H6079 26For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread, and the adulteress stalks {and} snares [as with a hook] the precious life [of a man].H1157H2181H802H3603H3899H802H376H6679H3368H5315 27Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?H376H2846H784H2436H899H8313 28Can one go upon hot coals and his feet not be burned?H376H1980H1513H7272H3554 29So he who cohabits with his neighbor's wife [will be tortured with evil consequences and just retribution]; he who touches her shall not be innocent {or} go unpunished.H935H7453H802H5060H5352 30Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;H936H1590H1589H4390H5315H7456 31But if he is found out, he must restore seven times [what he stole]; he must give the whole substance of his house [if necessary--to meet his fine].H4672H7999H7659H5414H1952H1004 32But whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks heart {and} understanding (moral principle and prudence); he who does it is destroying his own life.H5003H802H2638H3820H6213H7843H5315 33Wounds and disgrace will he get, and his reproach will not be wiped away.H5061H7036H4672H2781H4229 34For jealousy makes [the wronged] man furious; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance [upon the detected one].H7068H2534H1397H2550H3117H5359 35He will not consider any ransom [offered to buy him off from demanding full punishment]; neither will he be satisfied, though you offer him many gifts {and} bribes.H5375H6440H3724H14H7235H7810
