Proverbs - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
- Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
- Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
- Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;
- Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand `of the hunter', And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
- Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
- Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
- Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
- How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
- `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
- So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
- A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
- That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;
- In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.
- Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
- There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
- Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
- A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
- A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
- My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
