Proverbs 6

1 Against suretiship, 6 idleness, 12 and mischievousness. 16 Seven things hateful to God. 20 The blessings of obedience. 25 The mischiefs of whoredom.

 6:1 ¶ My son, 1121 if x518 thou be surety 6148 z8804 for thy friend, 7453 [if] thou hast stricken 8628 z8804 thy hand 3709 with a stranger, 2114 z8801

 6:2 Thou art snared 3369 z8738 with the words 561 of thy mouth, 6310 thou art taken 3920 z8738 with the words 561 of thy mouth. 6310

 6:3 Do 6213 z8798 this x2063 now, 645 my son, 1121 and deliver y5337 z8734 thyself, x5337 when x3588 thou art come 935 z8804 into the hand 3709 of thy friend; 7453 go, y3212 z8798 x1980 humble y7511 z8690 thyself, x7511 and make sure 7292 z8798 thy friend. 7453

 6:4 Give 5414 z8799 not x408 sleep 8142 to thine eyes, 5869 nor slumber 8572 to thine eyelids. 6079

 6:5 Deliver y5337 z8734 thyself x5337 as a roe 6643 from the hand 3027 x4480 [of the hunter], and as a bird 6833 from the hand 3027 x4480 of the fowler. 3353

 6:6 ¶ Go y3212 z8798 x1980 to x413 the ant, 5244 thou sluggard; 6102 consider 7200 z8798 her ways, 1870 and be wise: 2449 z8798

 6:7 Which x834 having no x369 guide, 7101 overseer, 7860 z8802 or ruler, 4910 z8802

 6:8 Provideth 3559 z8686 her meat 3899 in the summer, 7019 [and] gathereth 103 z8804 her food 3978 in the harvest. 7105

 6:9 How long x5704 x4970 wilt thou sleep, 7901 z8799 O sluggard? 6102 when x4970 wilt thou arise 6965 z8799 out of thy sleep? 8142 x4480

 6:10 [Yet] a little 4592 sleep, 8142 a little 4592 slumber, 8572 a little 4592 folding 2264 of the hands 3027 to sleep: 7901 z8800

 6:11 So shall thy poverty 7389 come 935 z8804 as one that travelleth, 1980 z8764 and thy want 4270 as an armed 4043 man. 376

 6:12 ¶ A naughty 1100 person, 120 a wicked 205 man, 376 walketh 1980 z8802 with a froward 6143 mouth. 6310

 6:13 He winketh 7169 z8802 with his eyes, 5869 he speaketh 4448 z8802 with his feet, 7272 he teacheth 3384 z8688 with his fingers; 676

 6:14 Frowardness 8419 [is] in his heart, 3820 he deviseth 2790 z8802 mischief 7451 continually; 6256 x3605 he soweth 7971 z8762 discord. 4066 z8675 y4090

 6:15 Therefore x5921 x3651 shall his calamity 343 come 935 z8799 suddenly; 6597 suddenly 6621 shall he be broken 7665 z8735 without x369 remedy. 4832

 6:16 ¶ These x2007 six 8337 [things] doth the LORD 3068 hate: 8130 z8804 yea, seven 7651 [are] an abomination 8441 unto him: 5315

 6:17 A proud 7311 z8802 look, 5869 a lying 8267 tongue, 3956 and hands 3027 that shed 8210 z8802 innocent 5355 blood, 1818

 6:18 An heart 3820 that deviseth 2790 z8802 wicked 205 imaginations, 4284 feet 7272 that be swift 4116 z8764 in running 7323 z8800 to mischief, 7451

 6:19 A false 8267 witness 5707 [that] speaketh 6315 z8686 lies, 3577 and he that soweth 7971 z8764 discord 4090 among x996 brethren. 251

 6:20 ¶ My son, 1121 keep 5341 z8798 thy father's 1 commandment, 4687 and forsake 5203 z8799 not x408 the law 8451 of thy mother: 517

 6:21 Bind 7194 z8798 them continually 8548 upon x5921 thine heart, 3820 [and] tie 6029 z8798 them about x5921 thy neck. 1621

 6:22 When thou goest, 1980 z8692 it shall lead 5148 z8686 thee; x853 when thou sleepest, 7901 z8800 it shall keep 8104 z8799 x5921 thee; and [when] thou awakest, 6974 z8689 it x1931 shall talk 7878 z8799 with thee.

 6:23 For x3588 the commandment 4687 [is] a lamp; 5216 and the law 8451 [is] light; 216 and reproofs 8433 of instruction 4148 [are] the way 1870 of life: 2416

 6:24 To keep 8104 z8800 thee from the evil 7451 woman, 802 x4480 from the flattery 2513 x4480 of the tongue 3956 of a strange woman. 5237

 6:25 Lust 2530 z8799 not x408 after her beauty 3308 in thine heart; 3824 neither x408 let her take 3947 z8799 thee with her eyelids. 6079

 6:26 For x3588 by means x1157 of y1157 a whorish 2181 z8802 woman 802 [a man is brought] to x5704 a piece 3603 of bread: 3899 and the adulteress 802 376 will hunt 6679 z8799 for the precious 3368 life. 5315

 6:27 Can a man 376 take 2846 z8799 fire 784 in his bosom, 2436 and his clothes 899 not x3808 be burned? 8313 z8735

 6:28 Can x518 one 376 go 1980 z8762 upon x5921 hot coals, 1513 and his feet 7272 not x3808 be burned? 3554 z8735

 6:29 So x3651 he that goeth in 935 z8802 to x413 his neighbour's 7453 wife; 802 whosoever x3605 toucheth 5060 z8802 her shall not x3808 be innocent. 5352 z8735

 6:30 [Men] do not x3808 despise 936 z8799 a thief, 1590 if x3588 he steal 1589 z8799 to satisfy 4390 z8763 his soul 5315 when x3588 he is hungry; 7456 z8799

 6:31 But [if] he be found, 4672 z8738 he shall restore 7999 z8762 sevenfold; 7659 he shall give 5414 z8799 x853 all x3605 the substance 1952 of his house. 1004

 6:32 [But] whoso committeth adultery 5003 z8802 with a woman 802 lacketh 2638 understanding: 3820 he x1931 [that] doeth 6213 z8799 it destroyeth 7843 z8688 his own soul. 5315

 6:33 A wound 5061 and dishonour 7036 shall he get; 4672 z8799 and his reproach 2781 shall not x3808 be wiped away. 4229 z8735

 6:34 For x3588 jealousy 7068 [is] the rage 2534 of a man: 1397 therefore he will not x3808 spare 2550 z8799 in the day 3117 of vengeance. 5359

 6:35 He will not x3808 regard 5375 6440 z8799 any x3605 ransom; 3724 neither x3808 will he rest content, 14 z8799 though x3588 thou givest many 7235 z8686 gifts. 7810
