kjv Proverbs:6:20-35 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My son ,
keep thy father '
s commandment ,
and forsake not the law of thy mother :
*
Bind them continually upon thine heart ,
and tie them about thy neck .
*
When thou goest ,
it shall lead thee ;
when thou sleepest ,
it shall keep thee ;
and when thou awakest ,
it shall talk with thee .
*
For the commandment is a lamp ;
and the law is light ;
and reproofs of instruction are the way of life :
*
To keep thee from the evil woman ,
from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman .
*
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart ;
neither let her take thee with her eyelids .
*
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread :
and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life .
*
Can a man take fire in his bosom ,
and his clothes not be burned ?
*
Can one go upon hot coals ,
and his feet not be burned ?
*
So he that goeth in to his neighbour '
s wife ;
whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent .
*
Men do not despise a thief ,
if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry ;
*
But if he be found ,
he shall restore sevenfold ;
he shall give all the substance of his house .
*
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding :
he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul .
*
A wound and dishonour shall he get ;
and his reproach shall not be wiped away .
*
For jealousy is the rage of a man :
therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance .
*
He will not regard any ransom ;
neither will he rest content ,
though thou givest many gifts .
