<TITLE>Proverbs 06</TITLE><BR>Proverbs 6 <BR>1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,<BR>2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.<BR>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.<BR>4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.<BR>5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.<BR>6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:<BR>7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,<BR>8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.<BR>9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?<BR>10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:<BR>11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.<BR>12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.<BR>13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;<BR>14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.<BR>15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.<BR>16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:<BR>17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,<BR>18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,<BR>19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.<BR>20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:<BR>21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.<BR>22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.<BR>23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:<BR>24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.<BR>25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.<BR>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.<BR>27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?<BR>28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?<BR>29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.<BR>30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;<BR>31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.<BR>32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.<BR>33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.<BR>34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.<BR>35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.<BR><BR><BR>
