6:1 My son 1121, if thou be surety 6148 8804 for thy friend 7453, [if] thou hast stricken 8628 8804 thy hand 3709 with a stranger 2114 8801,

6:2 Thou art snared 3369 8738 with the words 561 of thy mouth 6310, thou art taken 3920 8738 with the words 561 of thy mouth 6310.

6:3 Do 6213 8798 this now 645, my son 1121, and deliver 5337 8734 thyself, when thou art come 935 8804 into the hand 3709 of thy friend 7453; go 3212 8798, humble 7511 8690 thyself, and make sure 7292 8798 thy friend 7453.(and make…: or, so shalt thou prevail with thy friend)

6:4 Give 5414 8799 not sleep 8142 to thine eyes 5869, nor slumber 8572 to thine eyelids 6079.

6:5 Deliver 5337 8734 thyself as a roe 6643 from the hand 3027 [of the hunter], and as a bird 6833 from the hand 3027 of the fowler 3353.

6:6 Go 3212 8798 to the ant 5244, thou sluggard 6102; consider 7200 8798 her ways 1870, and be wise 2449 8798:

6:7 Which having no guide 7101, overseer 7860 8802, or ruler 4910 8802,

6:8 Provideth 3559 8686 her meat 3899 in the summer 7019, [and] gathereth 103 8804 her food 3978 in the harvest 7105.

6:9 How long wilt thou sleep 7901 8799, O sluggard 6102? when wilt thou arise 6965 8799 out of thy sleep 8142?

6:10 [Yet] a little 4592 sleep 8142, a little 4592 slumber 8572, a little 4592 folding 2264 of the hands 3027 to sleep 7901 8800:

6:11 So shall thy poverty 7389 come 935 8804 as one that travelleth 1980 8764, and thy want 4270 as an armed 4043 man 376.

6:12 A naughty 1100 person 120, a wicked 205 man 376, walketh 1980 8802 with a froward 6143 mouth 6310.

6:13 He winketh 7169 8802 with his eyes 5869, he speaketh 4448 8802 with his feet 7272, he teacheth 3384 8688 with his fingers 676;

6:14 Frowardness 8419 [is] in his heart 3820, he deviseth 2790 8802 mischief 7451 continually 6256; he soweth 7971 8762 discord 4066 8675 4090.(soweth: Heb. casteth forth)

6:15 Therefore shall his calamity 343 come 935 8799 suddenly 6597; suddenly 6621 shall he be broken 7665 8735 without remedy 4832.

6:16 These six 8337 [things] doth the LORD 3068 hate 8130 8804: yea, seven 7651 [are] an abomination 8441 unto him 5315:(unto…: Heb. of his soul)

6:17 A proud 7311 8802 look 5869, a lying 8267 tongue 3956, and hands 3027 that shed 8210 8802 innocent 5355 blood 1818,(A proud…: Heb. Haughty eyes)

6:18 An heart 3820 that deviseth 2790 8802 wicked 205 imaginations 4284, feet 7272 that be swift 4116 8764 in running 7323 8800 to mischief 7451,

6:19 A false 8267 witness 5707 [that] speaketh 6315 8686 lies 3577, and he that soweth 7971 8764 discord 4090 among brethren 251.

6:20 My son 1121, keep 5341 8798 thy father's 1 commandment 4687, and forsake 5203 8799 not the law 8451 of thy mother 517:

6:21 Bind 7194 8798 them continually 8548 upon thine heart 3820, [and] tie 6029 8798 them about thy neck 1621.

6:22 When thou goest 1980 8692, it shall lead 5148 8686 thee; when thou sleepest 7901 8800, it shall keep 8104 8799 thee; and [when] thou awakest 6974 8689, it shall talk 7878 8799 with thee.

6:23 For the commandment 4687 [is] a lamp 5216; and the law 8451 [is] light 216; and reproofs 8433 of instruction 4148 [are] the way 1870 of life 2416:(lamp: or, candle)

6:24 To keep 8104 8800 thee from the evil 7451 woman 802, from the flattery 2513 of the tongue 3956 of a strange woman 5237.(of the…: or, of the strange tongue)

6:25 Lust 2530 8799 not after her beauty 3308 in thine heart 3824; neither let her take 3947 8799 thee with her eyelids 6079.

6:26 For by means of 1157 a whorish 2181 8802 woman 802 [a man is brought] to a piece 3603 of bread 3899: and the adulteress 802 376 will hunt 6679 8799 for the precious 3368 life 5315.(the adulteress: Heb. the woman of a man, or, a man's wife)

6:27 Can a man 376 take 2846 8799 fire 784 in his bosom 2436, and his clothes 899 not be burned 8313 8735?

6:28 Can one 376 go 1980 8762 upon hot coals 1513, and his feet 7272 not be burned 3554 8735?

6:29 So he that goeth in 935 8802 to his neighbour's 7453 wife 802; whosoever toucheth 5060 8802 her shall not be innocent 5352 8735.

6:30 [Men] do not despise 936 8799 a thief 1590, if he steal 1589 8799 to satisfy 4390 8763 his soul 5315 when he is hungry 7456 8799;

6:31 But [if] he be found 4672 8738, he shall restore 7999 8762 sevenfold 7659; he shall give 5414 8799 all the substance 1952 of his house 1004.

6:32 [But] whoso committeth adultery 5003 8802 with a woman 802 lacketh 2638 understanding 3820: he [that] doeth 6213 8799 it destroyeth 7843 8688 his own soul 5315.(understanding: Heb. heart)

6:33 A wound 5061 and dishonour 7036 shall he get 4672 8799; and his reproach 2781 shall not be wiped away 4229 8735.

6:34 For jealousy 7068 [is] the rage 2534 of a man 1397: therefore he will not spare 2550 8799 in the day 3117 of vengeance 5359.

6:35 He will not regard 5375 8799 6440 any ransom 3724; neither will he rest content 14 8799, though thou givest many 7235 8686 gifts 7810.(He will…: Heb. He will not accept the face of any ransom)
