Proverbs:6:1-19
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.
