Proverbs 6:1 My son, if you are surety for your friend, if you struck your hands with an alien,
Proverbs 6:2 you are snared with the words of your mouth; you are captured with the words of your own mouth.
Proverbs 6:3 My son, do this then, and deliver yourself when you come into the hand of your friend: go lower yourself and be bold to your friend.
Proverbs 6:4 Do not give sleep to your eyes, or slumber to your eyelids.
Proverbs 6:5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand of a hunter, and as a bird from the fowler's hand.
Proverbs 6:6 Go to the ant, lazy man; consider her ways and be wise;
Proverbs 6:7 who, having no guide, overseer or ruler,
Proverbs 6:8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
Proverbs 6:9 How long will you lie down, O lazy man? When will you arise out of your sleep?
Proverbs 6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down;
Proverbs 6:11 so shall your poverty come as one walking, and your need like an armed man.
Proverbs 6:12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
Proverbs 6:13 winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, teaching with his fingers.
Proverbs 6:14 Perversity is in his heart; he is plotting evil at every time, he sends out strife.
Proverbs 6:15 On account of this, calamity shall come suddenly; he is broken quickly and there is no healing.
Proverbs 6:16 These six things Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul;
Proverbs 6:17 a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 6:18 a heart that plots evil plans, feet hurrying to run to mischief,
Proverbs 6:19 a false witness who breathes lies, and he who causes strife among brothers.
Proverbs 6:20 My son, keep your father's commands, and do not forsake the law of your mother.
Proverbs 6:21 Bind them to your heart forever; tie them around your neck.
Proverbs 6:22 When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall watch over you; and when you awaken, it will meditate with you.
Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are a way of life,
Proverbs 6:24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of the strange woman.
Proverbs 6:25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, and do not let her take you with her eyelids.
Proverbs 6:26 For on account of a woman, a harlot, a man comes to the last loaf of bread, and another man's wife hunts for the precious soul.
Proverbs 6:27 Can a man take fire into his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
Proverbs 6:28 Or can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be burned?
Proverbs 6:29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; everyone touching her shall not be innocent.

Proverbs 6:31 But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house.
Proverbs 6:32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks heart; he who does it is a destroyer of his own soul.
Proverbs 6:33 He shall find a wound and dishonor, and his shame shall not be wiped away.
Proverbs 6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Proverbs 6:35 He will not lift up the face of every ransom, nor will he consent if you multiply the bribes.
