gltv Proverbs:6:1-19 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
if you are surety for your friend ,
if you struck your palms with an alien ,
*
you are snared with the words of your mouth ;
you are captured with the words of your own mouth .
*
My son ,
do this then ,
and deliver yourself when you come into the palm of your friend :
go lower yourself and be bold to your friend .
*
Do not give sleep to your eyes ,
or slumber to your eyelids .
*
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand of a hunter ,
and as a bird from the fowler '
s hand .
*
Go to the ant ,
lazy man ;
consider her ways and be wise ;
*
who ,
having no guide ,
overseer or ruler ,
*
provides her bread in the summer ,
and gathers her food in the harvest .
*
How long will you lie down ,
O lazy man ?
When will you arise out of your sleep ?
*
A little sleep ,
a little slumber ,
a little folding of the hands to lie down ;
*
So shall your poverty come as one walking ,
and your need like an armed man .
*
A worthless person ,
a wicked man ,
walks with a perverse mouth ,
*
winking with his eyes ,
speaking with his feet ,
teaching with his fingers .
*
Perversity is in his heart ;
he is plotting evil at every time ,
he sends out strife .
*
On account of this ,
calamity shall come suddenly ;
he is broken quickly and there is no healing .
*
These six things Jehovah hates ;
yea ,
seven are hateful to his soul ;
*
a proud look ,
a lying tongue ,
and hands that shed innocent blood ,
*
a heart that plots evil plans ,
feet hurrying to run to mischief ,
*
a false witness who breathes lies ,
and he who causes strife among brothers .
