Book of Proverbs Chapter 06
20_PRO_06_01 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
20_PRO_06_02 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
20_PRO_06_03 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.
20_PRO_06_04 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
20_PRO_06_05 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
20_PRO_06_06 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
20_PRO_06_07 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
20_PRO_06_08 Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.
20_PRO_06_09 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
20_PRO_06_10 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
20_PRO_06_11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
20_PRO_06_12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
20_PRO_06_13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
20_PRO_06_14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
20_PRO_06_15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
20_PRO_06_16 These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
20_PRO_06_17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
20_PRO_06_18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
20_PRO_06_19 A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20_PRO_06_20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
20_PRO_06_21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.
20_PRO_06_22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
20_PRO_06_23 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:
20_PRO_06_24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
20_PRO_06_25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
20_PRO_06_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.
20_PRO_06_27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
20_PRO_06_28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
20_PRO_06_29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
20_PRO_06_30 [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
20_PRO_06_31 But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
20_PRO_06_32 [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
20_PRO_06_33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
20_PRO_06_34 For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
20_PRO_06_35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
