6 My son, if you pledge for your neighbor,
you clasp your palms for a stranger,
2 you are ensnared by the sayings of your mouth,
you are caught by the sayings of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, and rescue yourself:
Since you have come into the palm of your neighbor,
go, humble yourself and press your neighbor.
4 Do not give sleep to your eyes
and slumber to your eyelids.
5 Rescue yourself like a gazelle from a hand,
and like a bird from the hand of the trapper.
6 Go to the ant, lazy one!
See its ways and be wise,
7 which, without a commander,
officer, or ruler for it,
8 prepares its bread in the summer;
it gathers its food in the harvest.
9 Until 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”—
11 and your poverty will come like one who walks
and your lack like a man of shield.
12 A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity,
is one who walks with perversity of mouth,
13 one who winks with his eye, one who rubs with his foot,
one who points with his fingers.
14 Perverse things are in his heart, plotting evil on every occasion;
he sends forth quarrels.
15 Therefore his calamity will come instantly,
suddenly he will be broken and without healing.
16 Six are they Yahweh hates,
and seven are abominations to his self:
17 uplifted eyes, a tongue of falsehood,
and hands pouring out innocent blood,
18 a heart devising plans of iniquity,
feet hurrying to run to evil,
19 a witness of falsehood who breathes out lies
and who sends forth quarrels between brothers.
20 Guard, my son, the commandment of your father
and do not forsake the law of your mother.
21 Bind them on your heart continually;
tie them around your neck.
22 When 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.
23 For the commandment is a lamp and the law is a light,
and the rebukes of instruction are the way of life,
24 to keep you from a woman of evil,
from the smoothness of the tongue of a foreign woman.
25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart
and do not let her take you with her eyelashes.
26 For the price of a prostitute woman is as a loaf of bread,
but the wife of a man hunts a precious life.
27 Could a man carry a fire on his chest
and his clothes not be burned?
28 If a man walks on coals
then will his feet not be scorched?
29 So is the one going to the wife of his neighbor:
every one who touches her will not remain blameless.
30 They do not despise the thief
if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry.
31 But if he is found, he must repay sevenfold;
all the wealth of his house he must give.
32 One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking of heart;
destroying his life, he does it.
33 He will find a wound and disgrace
and his shame will not be wiped out.
34 For jealousy is the heat of a man,
and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 He will not lift up the face of any ransom,
and he will not be willing if you increase the bribe.
