nasb@Proverbs:6:1 @My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, Have given a pledge for a stranger,

nasb@Proverbs:6:2 @If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

nasb@Proverbs:6:3 @Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.

nasb@Proverbs:6:4 @Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;

nasb@Proverbs:6:5 @Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

nasb@Proverbs:6:6 @Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise,

nasb@Proverbs:6:7 @Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,

nasb@Proverbs:6:8 @Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.

nasb@Proverbs:6:9 @How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

nasb@Proverbs:6:10" @ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest"--

nasb@Proverbs:6:11 @Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.

nasb@Proverbs:6:12 @A worthless person, a wicked man, Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,

nasb@Proverbs:6:13 @Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers;

nasb@Proverbs:6:14 @Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.

nasb@Proverbs:6:15 @Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.

nasb@Proverbs:6:16 @There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him-

nasb@Proverbs:6:17 @Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,

nasb@Proverbs:6:18 @A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,

nasb@Proverbs:6:19 @A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.

nasb@Proverbs:6:20 @My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

nasb@Proverbs:6:21 @Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.

nasb@Proverbs:6:22 @When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

nasb@Proverbs:6:23 @For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

nasb@Proverbs:6:24 @To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

nasb@Proverbs:6:25 @Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.

nasb@Proverbs:6:26 @For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.

nasb@Proverbs:6:27 @Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?

nasb@Proverbs:6:28 @Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?

nasb@Proverbs:6:29 @So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.

nasb@Proverbs:6:30 @Men do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;

nasb@Proverbs:6:31 @But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house.

nasb@Proverbs:6:32 @The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it.

nasb@Proverbs:6:33 @Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out.

nasb@Proverbs:6:34 @For jealousy enrages a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

nasb@Proverbs:6:35 @He will not accept any ransom, Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts.
