| 6:1 | My sonne, if thou bee surety for thy friend, it thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, |
| 6:2 | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the wordes of thy mouth. |
| 6:3 | Doe this now, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend: goe, humble thy selfe, and make sure thy friend. |
| 6:4 | Giue not sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
| 6:5 | Deliuer thy selfe as a Roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
| 6:6 | Goe to the Ant, thou sluggard, consider her wayes, and be wise. |
| 6:7 | Which hauing no guide, ouerseer, or ruler, |
| 6:8 | Prouideth her meat in the Summer, and gathereth her food in the haruest. |
| 6:9 | How long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe? |
| 6:10 | Yet a little sleepe, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleepe. |
| 6:11 | So shall thy pouertie come as one that trauaileth, and thy want as an armed man. |
| 6:12 | A naughtie person, a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth. |
| 6:13 | He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feete, hee teacheth with his fingers. |
| 6:14 | Frowardnesse is in his heart, he deuiseth mischiefe continually, he soweth discord. |
| 6:15 | Therefore shall his calamitie come suddenly; suddenly shall hee be broken without remedie. |
| 6:16 | These sixe things doeth the Lord hate; yea seuen are an abomination vnto him: |
| 6:17 | A proude looke, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood: |
| 6:18 | An heart that deuiseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischiefe: |
| 6:19 | A false witnesse that speaketh lies; and him that soweth discord among brethren. |
| 6:20 | My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not the law of thy mother. |
| 6:21 | Binde them continually vpon thine heart, and tie them about thy necke. |
| 6:22 | When thou goest, it shall leade thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepe thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talke with thee. |
| 6:23 | For the Commandement is a lampe, and the Lawe is light: and reproofes of instruction are the way of life: |
| 6:24 | To keepe thee from the euill woman, from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman. |
| 6:25 | Lust not after her beautie in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
| 6:26 | For by meanes of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteresse will hunt for the precious life. |
| 6:27 | Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt? |
| 6:28 | Can one goe vpon hote coales, and his feete not be burnt? |
| 6:29 | So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife; whosoeuer toucheth her, shall not be innocent. |
| 6:30 | Men doe not despise a thiefe, if he steale to satisfie his soule, when hee is hungry: |
| 6:31 | But if he be found, he shall restore seuenfold, he shall giue all the substance of his house. |
| 6:32 | But who so committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: hee that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule. |
| 6:33 | A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproch shall not be wiped away. |
| 6:34 | For iealousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
| 6:35 | He will not regard any ransome; neither will hee rest content, though thou giuest many giftes. |
| 6:1 | My sonne, if thou be surety for thy neighbour, and hast striken hands with the stranger, |
| 6:2 | Thou art snared with the wordes of thy mouth: thou art euen taken with the woordes of thine owne mouth. |
| 6:3 | Doe 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. |
| 6:4 | Giue no sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
| 6:5 | Deliuer thy selfe as a doe from the hande of the hunter, and as a birde from the hande of the fouler. |
| 6:6 | Goe to the pismire, O sluggarde: beholde her waies, and be wise. |
| 6:7 | For shee hauing no guide, gouernour, nor ruler, |
| 6:8 | Prepareth her meat in the sommer, and gathereth her foode in haruest. |
| 6:9 | Howe long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggarde? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe? |
| 6:10 | Yet a litle sleepe, a litle slumber, a litle folding of the hands to sleepe. |
| 6:11 | Therefore thy pouertie commeth as one that trauaileth by the way, and thy necessitie like an armed man. |
| 6:12 | The vnthriftie man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth. |
| 6:13 | He maketh a signe with his eyes: he signifieth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers. |
| 6:14 | Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions. |
| 6:15 | Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: hee shall be destroyed suddenly without recouerie. |
| 6:16 | These sixe things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen: |
| 6:17 | The hautie eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood, |
| 6:18 | An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe, |
| 6:19 | A false witnesse that speaketh lyes, and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren. |
| 6:20 | My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction. |
| 6:21 | Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke. |
| 6:22 | It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee. |
| 6:23 | For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life, |
| 6:24 | To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman. |
| 6:25 | Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids. |
| 6:26 | For 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. |
| 6:27 | Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt? |
| 6:28 | Or can a man go vpon coales, and his feete not be burnt? |
| 6:29 | So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife, shall not be innocent, whosoeuer toucheth her. |
| 6:30 | Men do not despise a thiefe, when he stealeth, to satisfie his soule, because he is hungrie. |
| 6:31 | But if he be founde, he shall restore seuen folde, or he shall giue all the substance of his house. |
| 6:32 | But he that committeth adulterie with a woman, he is destitute of vnderstanding: he that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule. |
| 6:33 | He shall finde a wounde and dishonour, and his reproch shall neuer be put away. |
| 6:34 | For ielousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
| 6:35 | He cannot beare the sight of any raunsome: neither will he consent, though thou augment the giftes. |
| 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. |
