pro 6:1

  My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

pro 6:2

  Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

pro 6:3

  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.

pro 6:4

  Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

pro 6:5

  Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

pro 6:6

  Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

pro 6:7

  Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

pro 6:8

  Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

pro 6:9

  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

pro 6:10

  Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

pro 6:11

  So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

pro 6:12

  A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

pro 6:13

  He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

pro 6:14

  Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

pro 6:15

  Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

pro 6:16

  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

pro 6:17

  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

pro 6:18

  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

pro 6:19

  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

pro 6:20

  My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

pro 6:21

  Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

pro 6:22

  When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

pro 6:23

  For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

pro 6:24

  To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

pro 6:25

  Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

pro 6:26

  For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

pro 6:27

  Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

pro 6:28

  Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

pro 6:29

  So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

pro 6:30

  Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

pro 6:31

  But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

pro 6:32

  But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

pro 6:33

  A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

pro 6:34

  For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

pro 6:35

  He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
