Proverbs 6 ~ 7

Settings

6:1My son, if you have become a surety for your neighbor, / If you have given your hands as a pledge for a stranger, Compare
6:2You are snared by the words of your mouth; / You are caught by the words of your mouth. Compare
6:3Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, / Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor: / Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor. Compare
6:4Do not give sleep to your eyes, / Nor slumber to your eyelids. Compare
6:5Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand / And like a bird from the fowler's hand. Compare
6:6Go to the ant, you sluggard; / Consider its ways, and be wise, Compare
6:7Which, having no chief, / Officer, or ruler, Compare
6:8Prepares its food in summer / And gathers its sustenance in the harvest. Compare
6:9How long, sluggard, will you lie there? / When will you arise from your sleep? Compare
6:10A little sleep, a little slumber, / A little folding of the hands to rest, Compare
6:11And your poverty will come upon you like a robber, / And your want, like an armed man. Compare
6:12A worthless man, a wicked man, / Goes around with a perverse mouth, Compare
6:13Winking with his eyes, signaling with his feet, / Pointing with his fingers; Compare
6:14With perverseness in his heart, he is devising evil continually; / He injects discord. Compare
6:15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; / In a moment he will be broken, and there will be no remedy. Compare
6:16There are six things that Jehovah hates; / Indeed, seven that are an abomination to His soul: Compare
6:17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, / And hands that shed innocent blood, Compare
6:18A heart that devises wicked schemes, / Feet that hurry to run to evil, Compare
6:19A false witness who utters lies, / And one who injects discord among brothers. Compare
6:20My son, keep the commandment of your father, / And do not reject the teaching of your mother; Compare
6:21Bind them continually on your heart; / Tie them around your neck. Compare
6:22When you walk about, it will guide you, / When you lie down, it will watch over you; / And when you awake, it will talk with you. Compare
6:23For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, / And the reproofs of instruction are the way of life, Compare
6:24To keep you from the evil woman, / From the smooth tongue of the adulteress. Compare
6:25Do not desire her beauty in your heart, / Nor let her catch you with her eyelids; Compare
6:26For the price of a harlot is a loaf of bread, / But the wife of another man hunts for the precious soul. Compare
6:27Can a man take fire in his bosom / And his clothes not be burned? Compare
6:28Can a man walk on hot coals / And his feet not be scorched? Compare
6:29So it is with him who goes in to his neighbor's wife; / No one who touches her will be unpunished. Compare
6:30The thief is not despised if he steals / To satisfy himself when he is hungry; Compare
6:31But if he is found out, he shall restore sevenfold; / He must give over all the substance of his house. Compare
6:32He who commits adultery with a woman lacks sense; / He who does it destroys his own soul. Compare
6:33He will find wounds and dishonor, / And his reproach will not be wiped away. Compare
6:34For jealousy is the rage of a man, / And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. Compare
6:35He will not regard any ransom, / Nor will he be content if you give him great gifts. Compare
7:1My son, keep my words, / And treasure up my commandments within you. Compare
7:2Keep my commandments, and live; / And my teaching, like the apple of your eye. Compare
7:3Bind them on your fingers; / Write them on the tablet of your heart. Compare
7:4Say to wisdom, You are my sister, / And call understanding your close friend, Compare
7:5That they may keep you from the strange woman, / From the adulteress who flatters with her words. Compare
7:6For at the window of my house / I looked out through my lattice, Compare
7:7And I saw among the simple ones, / I discerned among the youths, / A young man lacking sense, Compare
7:8Passing along the street near her corner; / And he takes the way to her house, Compare
7:9In the twilight, in the evening of the day, / In the deep of night and darkness. Compare
7:10And there comes a woman to meet him, / Dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart. Compare
7:11She is rowdy and defiant; / Her feet do not stay at home - Compare
7:12Now in the street, now in the squares, / And at every corner she lies in wait. Compare
7:13And she grabs him and kisses him; / And with an impudent face she says to him, Compare
7:14I had to make offerings; / Today I have paid my vows. Compare
7:15Therefore I have come out to meet you, / To earnestly seek your presence; and I have found you. Compare
7:16I have decked my couch with coverings, / Colored spreads of the linen of Egypt; Compare
7:17I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, / Aloes, and cinnamon. Compare
7:18Come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning; / Let us delight ourselves with love. Compare
7:19For my husband is not at home; / He has gone on a long journey. Compare
7:20He has taken the money bag with him; / He will come home at the full moon. Compare
7:21With her great persuasiveness she beguiles him; / With her smooth talk she compels him. Compare
7:22He goes after her immediately, / As an ox goes to the slaughter, / Or as someone in fetters, to the correction of the fool, Compare
7:23Until an arrow pierces through his liver. / As a bird hastens to the snare, / So he does not know that this will cost him his life. Compare
7:24And now, my sons, listen to me, / And pay attention to the words of my mouth. Compare
7:25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; / Do not stray into her paths. Compare
7:26For many are those whom she has brought down wounded, / And numerous are all who have been slain by her. Compare
7:27Her house is the way to Sheol, / Going down to the chambers of death. Compare
