nkjv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, if you become surety for your friend, If you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:2 @ You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:3 @ So do this, my son, and deliver yourself; For you have come into the hand of your friend: Go and humble yourself; Plead with your friend.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:5 @ Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:7 @ Which, having no captain, Overseer or ruler,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:8 @ Provides her supplies in the summer, And gathers her food in the harvest.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep?

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

nkjv@Proverbs:6:11 @ So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth;

nkjv@Proverbs:6:13 @ He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;

nkjv@Proverbs:6:14 @ Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:15 @ Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:16 @ These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

nkjv@Proverbs:6:17 @ A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:18 @ A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:19 @ A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep your father's command, And do not forsake the law of your mother.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp, And the law a light; Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

nkjv@Proverbs:6:24 @ To keep you from the evil woman, From the flattering tongue of a seductress.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread; And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

nkjv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Can one walk on hot coals, And his feet not be seared?

nkjv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:30 @ People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:31 @ Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold; He may have to give up all the substance of his house.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:32 @ Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:33 @ Wounds and dishonor he will get, And his reproach will not be wiped away.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy is a husband's fury; Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

nkjv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will accept no recompense, Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
