| 6:1 |
 y 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. |
