Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 6
My son! If you have been guarantor for your friend, || Have struck your hand for a stranger, Have been snared with sayings of your mouth, || Have been captured with sayings of your mouth, Do this now, my son, and be delivered, || For you have come into the hand of your friend. Go, trample on yourself, and strengthen your friend, Do not give sleep to your eyes, || And slumber to your eyelids, Psa 132:4Be delivered as a roe from the hand, || And as a bird from the hand of a fowler. Psa 124:7Go to the ant, O slothful one, || See her ways and be wise; Which has no captain, overseer, and ruler, She prepares her bread in summer, || She has gathered her food in harvest. Until when, O slothful one, do you lie? When do you arise from your sleep? Pro 26:14A little sleep, a little slumber, || A little clasping of the hands to rest, Pro 24:33And your poverty has come as a traveler, || And your want as an armed man. A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, || Walking [with] perverseness of mouth, Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, || Directing with his fingers, Pro 10:10Contrariness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times, || He sends forth contentions. Pro 17:20Therefore his calamity comes suddenly, || He is broken instantly—and no healing. Psa 58:8These six has YHWH hated, || Indeed, seven [are] abominations to His soul: High eyes, || False tongues, || And hands shedding innocent blood, Pro 30:13A heart devising thoughts of vanity, || Feet hastening to run to evil, A false witness [who] breathes out lies, || And one sending forth contentions between brothers. Pro 19:5Keep, my son, the command of your father, || And do not leave the law of your mother. Pro 1:8Bind them on your heart continually, || Tie them on your neck. Deu 6:8In your going up and down, it leads you, || In your lying down, it watches over you, || And you have awoken—it talks [with] you. Pro 3:23For the command [is] a lamp, || And the Law a light, || And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction, Psa 119:105; 2Pe 1:19To preserve you from an evil woman, || From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Pro 7:5Do not desire her beauty in your heart, || And do not let her take you with her eyelids. For a harlot consumes to a cake of bread, || And an adulteress hunts the precious soul. Pro 5:10Does a man take fire into his bosom, || And are his garments not burned? Does a man walk on the hot coals, || And are his feet not scorched? So [is] he who has gone in to the wife of his neighbor, || None who touches her is innocent. Heb 13:4They do not despise the thief, || When he steals to fill his soul when he is hungry, And being found he repays sevenfold, || He gives all the substance of his house. Exo 22:1He who commits adultery [with] a woman lacks heart, || He who does it is destroying his soul. Lev 20:10He finds a stroke and shame, || And his reproach is not wiped away, For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, || And he does not spare in a day of vengeance. He does not accept the appearance of any atonement, || Indeed, he does not consent, || Though you multiply bribes!
