mkjv - Proverbs:6-7

mkjv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, [if] you are surety for your friend, [if] you struck your palms with a stranger,

mkjv@Proverbs:6:2 @ you are snared with the words of your mouth, you are taken with the words of your mouth.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:3 @ My son, do this now, and deliver yourself when you have come into the hand of your friend; go, humble yourself and make your friend sure.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Do not give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:5 @ Deliver yourself as a gazelle from the [hunter's] hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, sluggard; consider her ways and be wise;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:7 @ who, having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

mkjv@Proverbs:6:8 @ provides her food in the summer [and] gathers her food in the harvest.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

mkjv@Proverbs:6:10 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:11 @ so shall your poverty come as one who travels, and your need like an armed man.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a wicked man walks with a crooked mouth,

mkjv@Proverbs:6:13 @ winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, teaching with his fingers;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:14 @ perversity [is] in his heart; he [is] always planning mischief; he causes fighting.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:15 @ Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; he is quickly broken, and there is no healing.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:16 @ These six the LORD hates; yea, seven [are] hateful to his soul:

mkjv@Proverbs:6:17 @ a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

mkjv@Proverbs:6:18 @ a heart that plots wicked plans, feet hurrying to run to evil,

mkjv@Proverbs:6:19 @ a false witness [who] speaks lies, and he who causes fighting among brothers.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep your father's commandments, and do not forsake the law of your mother;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:21 @ bind them upon your heart forever, tie them around your neck.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and [when] you awake, it shall talk [with] you.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:24 @ to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; nor let her take you with her eyelids.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For by means of a harlot [a man comes] to a piece of bread; and another man's wife will hunt for the precious life.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

mkjv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

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

mkjv@Proverbs:6:30 @ They do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

mkjv@Proverbs:6:31 @ but [if] he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:32 @ Whoever commits adultery [with] a woman lacks understanding; he [who] does it destroys his own soul.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:33 @ He shall get a wound and dishonor; and his shame shall not be wiped away.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy [is] the rage of a man; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

mkjv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will not take any ransom; nor will he be willing if you multiply the gifts.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:1 @ My son, keep my words and store up my commandments within you.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:2 @ Keep my commandments and live; and keep my law as the pupil of your eye.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:3 @ Bind them upon your fingers; write them upon the tablet of your heart.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:4 @ Say to wisdom, You [are] my sister; and call understanding [your] kinsman,

mkjv@Proverbs:7:5 @ so that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the stranger [who] flatters with her words.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:6 @ For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice,

mkjv@Proverbs:7:7 @ and I saw among the simple ones, among the youths, a young man with no understanding,

mkjv@Proverbs:7:8 @ passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house,

mkjv@Proverbs:7:9 @ in the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:10 @ And, behold, there a woman met him, [with] the dress of a harlot and a guarded heart.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:11 @ She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet do not stay in her house;

mkjv@Proverbs:7:12 @ now [she is] outside, now in the streets, and lies in wait at every corner.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:13 @ And she caught him and kissed him, [and] with a hard face she said to him,

mkjv@Proverbs:7:14 @ [I have] peace offerings with me; today I have paid my vows.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:15 @ so I came out to meet you, earnestly to seek your face, and I have found you.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:16 @ I have decked my bed with coverings, with striped cloths of Egyptian linen.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:17 @ I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:18 @ Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; let us delight ourselves with caresses.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:19 @ For my husband [is] not at home, he has gone on a long journey;

mkjv@Proverbs:7:20 @ he has taken a bag of silver with him [and] will come home at the day of the full moon.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:21 @ With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:22 @ He goes after her immediately, like an ox goes to the slaughter, or like a fool to the correction of the stocks;

mkjv@Proverbs:7:23 @ until a dart strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare and does not know that it [is] for his soul.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:24 @ And now listen to me, sons, and attend to the words of my mouth.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:25 @ Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not go astray in her paths.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:26 @ For she has cast down many wounded; yea, many strong [men] have been slain by her.

mkjv@Proverbs:7:27 @ Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the rooms of death.

mkjv@Proverbs:8:1 @ Does not wisdom call? And does not understanding put forth her voice?
