Verse
Proverbs - ch 6 v 21 - 35
- Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.
- In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh `with' thee.
- For a lamp `is' the command, And the law a light, And a way of life `are' reproofs of instruction,
- To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
- Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.
- For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
- Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
- Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
- So `is' he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
- They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,
- And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
- He who committeth adultery `with' a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
- A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
- For jealousy `is' the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
- He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
