\s5
\c 6
\q
\v 1 My son, if you set aside your money as a guarantee for your neighbor's loan,
\q if you gave your promise for a loan of someone you do not know,
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 2 then you have laid a trap for yourself by your promise
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and you have been caught by the words of your mouth.
\s5
\q
2016-10-25 12:50:39 +00:00
\v 3 When you are caught by your words, my son, do this and save yourself,
\q since you have fallen into the hand of your neighbor;
\q go and humble yourself and make your case before your neighbor.
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\s5
\q
\v 4 Give your eyes no sleep
\q and your eyelids no slumber.
\q
\v 5 Save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
\q like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
\b
\s5
\q
2016-08-08 18:52:12 +00:00
\v 6 Look at the ant, you lazy person,
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q consider her ways, and be wise.
\q
\v 7 It has no commander,
\q officer, or ruler,
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 8 yet it prepares its food in the summer
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and during the harvest it stores up what it will eat.
\s5
\q
\v 9 How long will you sleep, you lazy person?
\q When will you rise from your sleep?
\q
\v 10 "A little more sleep, a little more slumber,
\q a little more folding of the hands to rest"—
\q
\v 11 and your poverty will come to you like a robber
\q and your needs like an armed soldier.
\s5
\q
\v 12 A worthless person—a wicked man—
\q lives by the crookedness of his speech,
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 13 winking his eyes, making signals with his feet
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and pointing with his fingers.
\s5
\q
\v 14 He plots evil with deceit in his heart;
\q he always stirs up discord.
\q
\v 15 Therefore his disaster will overtake him in an instant;
2016-08-08 18:52:12 +00:00
\q in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\s5
\q
\v 16 There are six things that Yahweh hates,
2016-10-13 19:54:26 +00:00
\q seven that are disgusting to him.
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q
\s5
\v 17 The eyes of a proud person, a tongue that lies,
\q hands that shed the blood of innocent people,
\q
\v 18 a heart that invents wicked schemes,
\q feet that quickly run to do evil,
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 19 a witness who breathes out lies
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and one who sows discord among brothers.
\s5
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 20 My son, obey the command of your father
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
\q
\v 21 Always bind them on your heart;
\q tie them about your neck.
\s5
\q
\v 22 When you walk, they will guide you;
\q when you sleep, they will watch over you;
\q and when you wake up, they will teach you.
\q
\v 23 For the commands are a lamp, and the teaching is a light;
\q the reproofs of discipline are the way of life.
\s5
\q
\v 24 It keeps you from the immoral woman,
\q from the smooth words of the adulteress.
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes.
\s5
\q
\v 26 Sleeping with a prostitute can cost the price of a loaf of bread,
\q but the wife of another may cost you your very life.
\q
\v 27 Can a man carry a fire against his chest
\q without burning his clothes?
\s5
\q
\v 28 Can a man walk on hot coals
\q without scorching his feet?
\q
\v 29 So is the man who sleeps with his neighbor's wife;
\q the one who sleeps with her will not go unpunished.
\s5
\q
\v 30 People do not despise a thief if he steals
\q to satisfy his need when he is hungry.
\q
\v 31 Yet if he is caught, he will pay back seven times what he stole;
\q he must give up everything of value in his house.
\s5
\q
\v 32 The one who commits adultery has no sense;
\q the one who does it destroys himself.
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 33 Wounds and shame are what he deserves
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
\s5
\q
\v 34 For jealousy makes a man furious;
\q he will show no mercy when he takes his revenge.
\q
2016-09-29 14:50:34 +00:00
\v 35 He will accept no compensation
2016-04-29 02:19:14 +00:00
\q and he cannot be bought off, though you offer him many gifts.
