rsv@Proverbs:6:1 @ My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger;
rsv@Proverbs:6:2 @ if you are snared in the utterance of your lips, caught in the words of your mouth;
rsv@Proverbs:6:3 @ then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into your neighbor's power: go, hasten, and importune your neighbor.
rsv@Proverbs:6:4 @ Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;
rsv@Proverbs:6:5 @ save yourself like a gazelle from the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
rsv@Proverbs:6:6 @ Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
rsv@Proverbs:6:7 @ Without having any chief, officer or ruler,
rsv@Proverbs:6:8 @ she prepares her food in summer, and gathers her sustenance in harvest.
rsv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
rsv@Proverbs:6:10 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
rsv@Proverbs:6:11 @ and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.
rsv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
rsv@Proverbs:6:13 @ winks with his eyes, scrapes with his feet, points with his finger,
rsv@Proverbs:6:14 @ with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
rsv@Proverbs:6:15 @ therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
rsv@Proverbs:6:16 @ There are six things which the LORD hates, seven which are an abomination to him:
rsv@Proverbs:6:17 @ haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
rsv@Proverbs:6:18 @ a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
rsv@Proverbs:6:19 @ a false witness who breathes out lies, and a man who sows discord among brothers.
rsv@Proverbs:6:20 @ My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.
rsv@Proverbs:6:21 @ Bind them upon your heart always; tie them about your neck.
rsv@Proverbs:6:22 @ When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
rsv@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
rsv@Proverbs:6:24 @ to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adventuress.
rsv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
rsv@Proverbs:6:26 @ for a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread, but an adulteress stalks a man's very life.
rsv@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man carry fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
rsv@Proverbs:6:28 @ Or can one walk upon hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
rsv@Proverbs:6:29 @ So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
rsv@Proverbs:6:30 @ Do not men despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry?
rsv@Proverbs:6:31 @ And if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
rsv@Proverbs:6:32 @ He who commits adultery has no sense; he who does it destroys himself.
rsv@Proverbs:6:33 @ Wounds and dishonor will he get, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
rsv@Proverbs:6:34 @ For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
rsv@Proverbs:6:35 @ He will accept no compensation, nor be appeased though you multiply gifts.
