kjv Proverbs:6:1-19 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
