nkjv Proverbs:6:20-35 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
keep your father '
s command ,
And do not forsake the law of your mother .
*
Bind them continually upon your heart ;
Tie them around your neck .
*
When you roam ,
they will lead you ;
When you sleep ,
they will keep you ;
And when you awake ,
they will speak with you .
*
For the commandment is a lamp ,
And the law a light ;
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life ,
*
To keep you from the evil woman ,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress .
*
Do not lust after her beauty in your heart ,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids .
*
For by means of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread ;
And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life .
*
Can a man take fire to his bosom ,
And his clothes not be burned ?
*
Can one walk on hot coals ,
And his feet not be seared ?
*
So is he who goes in to his neighbor '
s wife ;
Whoever touches her shall not be innocent .
*
People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving .
*
Yet when he is found ,
he must restore sevenfold ;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house .
*
Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding ;
He who does so destroys his own soul .
*
Wounds and dishonor he will get ,
And his reproach will not be wiped away .
*
For jealousy is a husband '
s fury ;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance .
*
He will accept no recompense ,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts .
