The Book of Proverbs 6

6My son, if you pledge for your neighbor,

you clasp your palms for a stranger,

2you are ensnared by the sayings of your mouth,

you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,

3then do this, my son, and rescue yourself:

Since you have come into the palm of your neighbor,

go, humble yourself and press your neighbor.

4Do not give sleep to your eyes

and slumber to your eyelids.

5Rescue yourself like a gazelle from a hand,

and like a bird from the hand of the trapper.

6Go to the ant, lazy one!

See its ways and be wise,

7which, without a commander,

officer, or ruler for it,

8prepares its bread in the summer;

it gathers its food in the harvest.

9Until when, lazy one, will you lie down?

When will you rise from your sleep?

10“A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to lie down”—

11and your poverty will come like one who walks

and your lack like a man of shield.

12A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity,

is one who walks with perversity of mouth,

13one who winks with his eye, one who rubs with his foot,

one who points with his fingers.

14Perverse things are in his heart, plotting evil on every occasion;

he sends forth quarrels.

15Therefore his calamity will come instantly,

suddenly he will be broken and without healing.

16Six are they Yahweh hates,

and seven are abominations to his self:

17uplifted eyes, a tongue of falsehood,

and hands pouring out innocent blood,

18a heart devising plans of iniquity,

feet hurrying to run to evil,

19a witness of falsehood who breathes out lies

and who sends forth quarrels between brothers.

20Guard, my son, the commandment of your father

and do not forsake the law of your mother.

21Bind them on your heart continually;

tie them around your neck.

22When you walk about, it will guide you;

when you lie down, it will preserve you;

and you will wake up, it will converse with you.

23For the commandment is a lamp and the law is a light,

and the rebukes of instruction are the way of life,

24to keep you from a woman of evil,

from the smoothness of the tongue of a foreign woman.

25Do not desire her beauty in your heart

and do not let her take you with her eyelashes.

26For the price of a prostitute woman is as a loaf of bread,

but the wife of a man hunts a precious life.

27Could a man carry a fire on his chest

and his clothes not be burned?

28If a man walks on coals

then will his feet not be scorched?

29So is the one going to the wife of his neighbor:

every one who touches her will not remain blameless.

30They do not despise the thief

if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry.

31But if he is found, he must repay sevenfold;

all the wealth of his house he must give.

32One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking of heart;

destroying his life, he does it.

33He will find a wound and disgrace

and his shame will not be wiped out.

34For jealousy is the heat of a man,

and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35He will not lift up the face of any ransom,

and he will not be willing if you increase the bribe.
