| 6:1 | My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, |
| 6:2 | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. |
| 6:3 | Do 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. |
| 6:4 | Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
| 6:5 | Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
| 6:6 | Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: |
| 6:7 | Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, |
| 6:8 | Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. |
| 6:9 | How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
| 6:10 | Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: |
| 6:11 | So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. |
| 6:12 | A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. |
| 6:13 | He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; |
| 6:14 | Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. |
| 6:15 | Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. |
| 6:16 | These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: |
| 6:17 | A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, |
| 6:18 | An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, |
| 6:19 | A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. |
| 6:20 | My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: |
| 6:21 | Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. |
| 6:22 | When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. |
| 6:23 | For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: |
| 6:24 | To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. |
| 6:25 | Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
| 6:26 | For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. |
| 6:27 | Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? |
| 6:28 | Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? |

| 6:32 | But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. |
| 6:33 | A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. |
| 6:34 | For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
| 6:35 | He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. |
| 6:1 | My sonne yf thou be suertye for thy neyghboure, and hast fastened thyne hand for another man, |
| 6:2 | thou art bounde wt thyne awne wordes, and taken with thine awne speache. |
| 6:3 | Therfore, 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: |
| 6:4 | let not thyne eyes slepe, ner thyne eye lyddes slomber. |
| 6:5 | Saue thy selfe as a doo from the hande of the huntre, & as a byrde from the hande of the fouler. |
| 6:6 | Go to the Emmet (thou slougard) consydre herwayes, & lerne to be wyse. |
| 6:7 | She hath no guyde, no ouersear nor ruler: |
| 6:8 | yet in the Sommer she prouideth her meate, and gathereth her fode to gether in the haruest. |
| 6:9 | Howe longe wylt thou slepe, thou slougysh man? When wylt thou aryse out of thy slepe? |
| 6:10 | Yee slepe on styll a lytle, slomber a lytle, foulde thyne handes together yet a lytle, that thou mayest slepe: |
| 6:11 | so shall pouertye come vnto the as on that trauayleth by the waye, & necessytelke a weapened man. |
| 6:12 | An vngodly person, a wycked man goeth with a frowarde mouth |
| 6:13 | he wyncketh with his eyes, he tokeneth with hys fete, he poynteth with hys fyngers, |
| 6:14 | he is euer ymagenynge myschefe, and frowardnesse in hys herte, & causeth discorde. |
| 6:15 | Therfore shall hys destruccyon come hastly vpon him, sodenly shall he be all to broken, and not be healed. |
| 6:16 | These syxe thynges doth the Lord hate, and the seuenth he vtterly abhorreth: |
| 6:17 | A proude looke a lyinge tonge, handes that shed innocent bloude, |
| 6:18 | an herte that goeth aboute wyth wycked ymaginacyons fete that be swyfte in rennynge to do myschefe, |
| 6:19 | a false wytnesse that bringeth vp lyes, and soche one as soweth discorde amonge brethren. |
| 6:20 | My sonne, kepe thy fathers commaundement, and forsake not the lawe of thy mother. |
| 6:21 | Put them vp together in thyne herte, and bynde them aboute thy neck. |
| 6:22 | That they may leade the where thou goest, preserue the when thou art a slepe, and that when thou awakest, thou mayest talke of them. |
| 6:23 | For the commaundement is a lanterne, and the lawe a lyght: yee chastenyng and nourtoure is the waye of lyfe |
| 6:24 | that they may kepe the from the euell woman, and from the flatteryng tonge of the harlote: |
| 6:25 | that thou lust not after her beauty in thyne herte, and lest thou be taken with her fayre lookes. |
| 6:26 | An harlot wyll make a man to begge his bread, and a woman wyll hunt for the precyous lyfe. |
| 6:27 | Maye a man take fyre in hys bosome and hys clothes not be brent? |
| 6:28 | Or can one go vpon hote coales, and hys fete not be hurte? |
| 6:29 | Euen so, whosoeuer goeth into his neyghbours wyfe, and toucheth her, cannot be vngylty. |
| 6:30 | Men do not vtterly despyse a thefe that stealeth to satisfye hys soule, when he is hungry: |
| 6:31 | but yf he maye be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as moche, or els he maketh recompense with all the good of hys house. |
| 6:32 | But whoso committeth aduoutry with a woman, he is a foole and bryngeth his lyfe to destruction. |
| 6:33 | He getteth hym selfe also shame and dishonour, soche as shall neuer be put out. |
| 6:34 | For the gelousy and wrath of the man wyll not be intreated, |
| 6:35 | no though thou woldest offre him great gyftes to make amendes, he will not receaue them. |
