A Chapter a Day - The Book of Proverbs Chapter 6Warnings Against Folly 1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, 2 if you have been trapped by what you said, 3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, 4 Allow no sleep to your eyes, 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; 7 It has no commander, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, 11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit 12 A scoundrel and villain, 13 who winks with his eye, 14 who plots evil with deceit in his heart— 15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; 16 There are six things the LORD hates, 17 haughty eyes, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, 19 a false witness who pours out lies Warning Against Adultery 20 My son, keep your father's commands 21 Bind them upon your heart forever; 22 When you walk, they will guide you; 23 For these commands are a lamp, 24 keeping you from the immoral woman, 25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty 26 for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap 28 Can a man walk on hot coals 29 So is he who sleeps with another man's wife; 30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals 31 Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, 32 But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; 33 Blows and disgrace are his lot, 34 for jealousy arouses a husband's fury, 35 He will not accept any compensation; |
