Proverbs 6 : 1 (ESV)
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,
Proverbs 6 : 2 (ESV)
if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,
Proverbs 6 : 3 (ESV)
then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.
Proverbs 6 : 4 (ESV)
Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;
Proverbs 6 : 5 (ESV)
save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Proverbs 6 : 6 (ESV)
Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
Proverbs 6 : 7 (ESV)
Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,
Proverbs 6 : 8 (ESV)
she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
Proverbs 6 : 9 (ESV)
How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
Proverbs 6 : 10 (ESV)
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
Proverbs 6 : 11 (ESV)
and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
Proverbs 6 : 12 (ESV)
A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
Proverbs 6 : 13 (ESV)
winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,
Proverbs 6 : 14 (ESV)
with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
Proverbs 6 : 15 (ESV)
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
Proverbs 6 : 16 (ESV)
There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
Proverbs 6 : 17 (ESV)
haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 6 : 18 (ESV)
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
Proverbs 6 : 19 (ESV)
a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Proverbs 6 : 20 (ESV)
My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
Proverbs 6 : 21 (ESV)
Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
Proverbs 6 : 22 (ESV)
When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
Proverbs 6 : 23 (ESV)
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
Proverbs 6 : 24 (ESV)
to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
Proverbs 6 : 25 (ESV)
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
Proverbs 6 : 26 (ESV)
for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
Proverbs 6 : 27 (ESV)
Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
Proverbs 6 : 28 (ESV)
Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
Proverbs 6 : 29 (ESV)
So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
Proverbs 6 : 30 (ESV)
People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
Proverbs 6 : 31 (ESV)
but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
Proverbs 6 : 32 (ESV)
He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
Proverbs 6 : 33 (ESV)
Wounds and dishonor will he get, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
Proverbs 6 : 34 (ESV)
For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
Proverbs 6 : 35 (ESV)
He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
