* My son , if thou be surety for thy friend , if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger , * Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth , thou art taken with the words of thy mouth . * Do this now , my son , and deliver thyself , when thou art come into the hand of thy friend ; go , humble thyself , and make sure thy friend . * Give not sleep to thine eyes , nor slumber to thine eyelids . * Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter , and as a bird from the hand of the fowler . * Go to the ant , thou sluggard ; consider her ways , and be wise : * Which having no guide , overseer , or ruler , * Provideth her meat in the summer , and gathereth her food in the harvest . * How long wilt thou sleep , O sluggard ? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep ? * Yet a little sleep , a little slumber , a little folding of the hands to sleep : * So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth , and thy want as an armed man . * A naughty person , a wicked man , walketh with a froward mouth . * He winketh with his eyes , he speaketh with his feet , he teacheth with his fingers ; * Frowardness is in his heart , he deviseth mischief continually ; he soweth discord . * Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly ; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy . * These six things doth the LORD hate : yea , seven are an abomination unto him : * A proud look , a lying tongue , and hands that shed innocent blood , * An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations , feet that be swift in running to mischief , * A false witness that speaketh lies , and he that soweth discord among brethren .
