Proverbs - Chapter: 6

>
6:1My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
6:2Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
6:3Do 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.
6:4Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
6:5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6:6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6:7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
6:8Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
6:9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
6:10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
6:11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
6:12A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
6:13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
6:14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
6:15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
6:16These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
6:19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
6:20My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
6:21Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
6:22When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
6:23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
6:24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
6:25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
6:26For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
6:27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
6:28Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
6:29So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
6:30Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
6:31But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
6:32But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
6:33A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
6:34For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

 

6:1My sonne, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, and hast striken hands with the stranger,
6:2Thou art snared with the wordes of thy mouth: thou art euen taken with the woordes of thine owne mouth.
6:3Doe this nowe, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe: seeing thou art come into the hande of thy neighbour, goe, and humble thy selfe, and sollicite thy friends.
6:4Giue no sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
6:5Deliuer thy selfe as a doe from the hande of the hunter, and as a birde from the hande of the fouler.
6:6Goe to the pismire, O sluggarde: beholde her waies, and be wise.
6:7For shee hauing no guide, gouernour, nor ruler,
6:8Prepareth her meat in the sommer, and gathereth her foode in haruest.
6:9Howe long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggarde? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe?
6:10Yet a litle sleepe, a litle slumber, a litle folding of the hands to sleepe.
6:11Therefore thy pouertie commeth as one that trauaileth by the way, and thy necessitie like an armed man.
6:12The vnthriftie man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth.
6:13He maketh a signe with his eyes: he signifieth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers.
6:14Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions.
6:15Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: hee shall be destroyed suddenly without recouerie.
6:16These sixe things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen:
6:17The hautie eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,
6:18An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe,
6:19A false witnesse that speaketh lyes, and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren.
6:20My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction.
6:21Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke.
6:22It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee.
6:23For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life,
6:24To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman.
6:25Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids.
6:26For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsell of bread, and a woman wil hunt for the precious life of a man.
6:27Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt?
6:28Or can a man go vpon coales, and his feete not be burnt?
6:29So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife, shall not be innocent, whosoeuer toucheth her.
6:30Men do not despise a thiefe, when he stealeth, to satisfie his soule, because he is hungrie.
6:31But if he be founde, he shall restore seuen folde, or he shall giue all the substance of his house.
6:32But he that committeth adulterie with a woman, he is destitute of vnderstanding: he that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule.
6:33He shall finde a wounde and dishonour, and his reproch shall neuer be put away.
6:34For ielousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
6:35He cannot beare the sight of any raunsome: neither will he consent, though thou augment the giftes.

 

6:1My sonne yf thou be suertye for thy neyghboure, and hast fastened thyne hand for another man,
6:2thou art bounde wt thyne awne wordes, and taken with thine awne speache.
6:3Therfore, my sonne, do thys & thou shalt be discharged: when thou art come into thy neighbours daunger. Goo thy wayes then soone, humble thy selfe, and with thy frendes intreate thy creditour:
6:4let not thyne eyes slepe, ner thyne eye lyddes slomber.
6:5Saue thy selfe as a doo from the hande of the huntre, & as a byrde from the hande of the fouler.
6:6Go to the Emmet (thou slougard) consydre herwayes, & lerne to be wyse.
6:7She hath no guyde, no ouersear nor ruler:
6:8yet in the Sommer she prouideth her meate, and gathereth her fode to gether in the haruest.
6:9Howe longe wylt thou slepe, thou slougysh man? When wylt thou aryse out of thy slepe?
6:10Yee slepe on styll a lytle, slomber a lytle, foulde thyne handes together yet a lytle, that thou mayest slepe:
6:11so shall pouertye come vnto the as on that trauayleth by the waye, & necessytelke a weapened man.
6:12An vngodly person, a wycked man goeth with a frowarde mouth
6:13he wyncketh with his eyes, he tokeneth with hys fete, he poynteth with hys fyngers,
6:14he is euer ymagenynge myschefe, and frowardnesse in hys herte, & causeth discorde.
6:15Therfore shall hys destruccyon come hastly vpon him, sodenly shall he be all to broken, and not be healed.
6:16These syxe thynges doth the Lord hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth:
6:17A proude looke a lyinge tonge, handes that shed innocent bloude,
6:18an herte that goeth aboute wyth wycked ymaginacyons fete that be swyfte in rennynge to do myschefe,
6:19a false wytnesse that bringeth vp lyes, and soche one as soweth discorde amonge brethren.
6:20My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother.
6:21Put them vp together in thyne herte, and bynde them aboute thy neck.
6:22That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a slepe, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of them.
6:23For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe
6:24that they may kepe the from the euell woman, and from the flatteryng tonge of the harlote:
6:25that thou lust not after her beauty in thyne herte, and lest thou be taken with her fayre lookes.
6:26An harlot wyll make a man to begge his bread, and a woman wyll hunt for the precyous lyfe.
6:27Maye a man take fyre in hys bosome and hys clothes not be brent?
6:28Or can one go vpon hote coales, and hys fete not be hurte?
6:29Euen so, whosoeuer goeth into his neyghbours wyfe, and toucheth her, cannot be vngylty.
6:30Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe that stealeth to satisfye hys soule, when he is hungry:
6:31but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as moche, or els he maketh recompense with all the good of hys house.
6:32But whoso committeth aduoutry with a woman, he is a foole and bryngeth his lyfe to destruction.
6:33He getteth hym selfe also shame and dishonour, soche as shall neuer be put out.
6:34For the gelousy and wrath of the man wyll not be intreated,
6:35no though thou woldest offre him great gyftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them.
