Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:1 -
My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor,
If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:2 -
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,
Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:3 -
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,
Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor:
Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:4 -
Give not sleep to thine eyes,
Nor slumber to thine eyelids;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:5 -
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter,
And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:6 -
Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
Consider her ways, and be wise:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:7 -
Which having no chief,
Overseer, or ruler,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:8 -
Provideth her bread in the summer,
And gathereth her food in the harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:9 -
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?
When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:10 -
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:11 -
So shall thy poverty come as a robber,
And thy want as an armed man.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:12 -
A worthless person, a man of iniquity,
Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:13 -
That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet,
That maketh signs with his fingers;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:14 -
In whose heart is perverseness,
Who deviseth evil continually,
Who soweth discord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:15 -
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;
On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 -
There are six things which Jehovah hateth;
Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:17 -
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:18 -
A heart that deviseth wicked purposes,
Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:19 -
A false witness that uttereth lies,
And he that soweth discord among brethren.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:20 -
My son, keep the commandment of thy father,
And forsake not the law of thy mother:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:21 -
Bind them continually upon thy heart;
Tie them about thy neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:22 -
When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee;
And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:23 -
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;
And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:24 -
To keep thee from the evil woman,
From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:25 -
Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;
Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:26 -
For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread;
And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:27 -
Can a man take fire in his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:28 -
Or can one walk upon hot coals,
And his feet not be scorched?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:29 -
So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife;
Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:30 -
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal
To satisfy himself when he is hungry:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:31 -
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;
He shall give all the substance of his house.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:32 -
He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding:
He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:33 -
Wounds and dishonor shall he get;
And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:34 -
For jealousy is the rage of a man;
And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:35 -
He will not regard any ransom;
Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
