Proverbs 6

6:1

My son
<01121>_,

if thou be surety
<06148> (8804)

for thy friend
<07453>_,

[if] thou hast stricken
<08628> (8804)

thy hand
<03709>

with a stranger
<02114> (8801)_,

6:2

Thou art snared
<03369> (8738)

with the words
<0561>

of thy mouth
<06310>_,

thou art taken
<03920> (8738)

with the words
<0561>

of thy mouth
<06310>_.

6:3

Do
<06213> (8798)

this now
<0645>_,

my son
<01121>_,

and deliver
<05337> (8734)

thyself, when thou art come
<0935> (8804)

into the hand
<03709>

of thy friend
<07453>_;

go
<03212> (8798)_,

humble
<07511> (8690)

thyself, and make sure
<07292> (8798)

thy friend
<07453>_.

{and make...: or, so shalt thou prevail with thy friend}

6:4

Give
<05414> (8799)

not sleep
<08142>

to thine eyes
<05869>_,

nor slumber
<08572>

to thine eyelids
<06079>_.

6:5

Deliver
<05337> (8734)

thyself as a roe
<06643>

from the hand
<03027>

[of the hunter], and as a bird
<06833>

from the hand
<03027>

of the fowler
<03353>_.

6:6

Go
<03212> (8798)

to the ant
<05244>_,

thou sluggard
<06102>_;

consider
<07200> (8798)

her ways
<01870>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_:

6:7

Which having no guide
<07101>_,

overseer
<07860> (8802)_,

or ruler
<04910> (8802)_,

6:8

Provideth
<03559> (8686)

her meat
<03899>

in the summer
<07019>_,

[and] gathereth
<0103> (8804)

her food
<03978>

in the harvest
<07105>_.

6:9

How long wilt thou sleep
<07901> (8799)_,

O sluggard
<06102>_?

when wilt thou arise
<06965> (8799)

out of thy sleep
<08142>_?

6:10

[Yet] a little
<04592>

sleep
<08142>_,

a little
<04592>

slumber
<08572>_,

a little
<04592>

folding
<02264>

of the hands
<03027>

to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:

6:11

So shall thy poverty
<07389>

come
<0935> (8804)

as one that travelleth
<01980> (8764)_,

and thy want
<04270>

as an armed
<04043>

man
<0376>_.

6:12

A naughty
<01100>

person
<0120>_,

a wicked
<0205>

man
<0376>_,

walketh
<01980> (8802)

with a froward
<06143>

mouth
<06310>_.

6:13

He winketh
<07169> (8802)

with his eyes
<05869>_,

he speaketh
<04448> (8802)

with his feet
<07272>_,

he teacheth
<03384> (8688)

with his fingers
<0676>_;

6:14

Frowardness
<08419>

[is] in his heart
<03820>_,

he deviseth
<02790> (8802)

mischief
<07451>

continually
<06256>_;

he soweth
<07971> (8762)

discord
<04066> (8675) <04090>_.

{soweth: Heb. casteth forth}

6:15

Therefore shall his calamity
<0343>

come
<0935> (8799)

suddenly
<06597>_;

suddenly
<06621>

shall he be broken
<07665> (8735)

without remedy
<04832>_.

6:16

These six
<08337>

[things] doth the LORD
<03068>

hate
<08130> (8804)_:

yea, seven
<07651>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto him
<05315>_:

{unto...: Heb. of his soul}

6:17

A proud
<07311> (8802)

look
<05869>_,

a lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>_,

and hands
<03027>

that shed
<08210> (8802)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_,

{A proud...: Heb. Haughty eyes}

6:18

An heart
<03820>

that deviseth
<02790> (8802)

wicked
<0205>

imaginations
<04284>_,

feet
<07272>

that be swift
<04116> (8764)

in running
<07323> (8800)

to mischief
<07451>_,

6:19

A false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

[that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>_,

and he that soweth
<07971> (8764)

discord
<04090>

among brethren
<0251>_.

6:20

My son
<01121>_,

keep
<05341> (8798)

thy father's
<01>

commandment
<04687>_,

and forsake
<05203> (8799)

not the law
<08451>

of thy mother
<0517>_:

6:21

Bind
<07194> (8798)

them continually
<08548>

upon thine heart
<03820>_,

[and] tie
<06029> (8798)

them about thy neck
<01621>_.

6:22

When thou goest
<01980> (8692)_,

it shall lead
<05148> (8686)

thee; when thou sleepest
<07901> (8800)_,

it shall keep
<08104> (8799)

thee; and [when] thou awakest
<06974> (8689)_,

it shall talk
<07878> (8799)

with thee.

6:23

For the commandment
<04687>

[is] a lamp
<05216>_;

and the law
<08451>

[is] light
<0216>_;

and reproofs
<08433>

of instruction
<04148>

[are] the way
<01870>

of life
<02416>_:

{lamp: or, candle}

6:24

To keep
<08104> (8800)

thee from the evil
<07451>

woman
<0802>_,

from the flattery
<02513>

of the tongue
<03956>

of a strange woman
<05237>_.

{of the...: or, of the strange tongue}

6:25

Lust
<02530> (8799)

not after her beauty
<03308>

in thine heart
<03824>_;

neither let her take
<03947> (8799)

thee with her eyelids
<06079>_.

6:26

For by means of
<01157>

a whorish
<02181> (8802)

woman
<0802>

[a man is brought] to a piece
<03603>

of bread
<03899>_:

and the adulteress
<0802> <0376>

will hunt
<06679> (8799)

for the precious
<03368>

life
<05315>_.

{the adulteress: Heb. the woman of a man, or, a man's wife}

6:27

Can a man
<0376>

take
<02846> (8799)

fire
<0784>

in his bosom
<02436>_,

and his clothes
<0899>

not be burned
<08313> (8735)_?

6:28

Can one
<0376>

go
<01980> (8762)

upon hot coals
<01513>_,

and his feet
<07272>

not be burned
<03554> (8735)_?

6:29

So he that goeth in
<0935> (8802)

to his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_;

whosoever toucheth
<05060> (8802)

her shall not be innocent
<05352> (8735)_.

6:30

[Men] do not despise
<0936> (8799)

a thief
<01590>_,

if he steal
<01589> (8799)

to satisfy
<04390> (8763)

his soul
<05315>

when he is hungry
<07456> (8799)_;

6:31

But [if] he be found
<04672> (8738)_,

he shall restore
<07999> (8762)

sevenfold
<07659>_;

he shall give
<05414> (8799)

all the substance
<01952>

of his house
<01004>_.

6:32

[But] whoso committeth adultery
<05003> (8802)

with a woman
<0802>

lacketh
<02638>

understanding
<03820>_:

he [that] doeth
<06213> (8799)

it destroyeth
<07843> (8688)

his own soul
<05315>_.

{understanding: Heb. heart}

6:33

A wound
<05061>

and dishonour
<07036>

shall he get
<04672> (8799)_;

and his reproach
<02781>

shall not be wiped away
<04229> (8735)_.

6:34

For jealousy
<07068>

[is] the rage
<02534>

of a man
<01397>_:

therefore he will not spare
<02550> (8799)

in the day
<03117>

of vengeance
<05359>_.

6:35

He will not regard
<05375> (8799) <06440>

any ransom
<03724>_;

neither will he rest content
<014> (8799)_,

though thou givest many
<07235> (8686)

gifts
<07810>_.

{He will...: Heb. He will not accept the face of any ransom}
