Proverbs 6

1 O son my if you have stood surety for fellow-citizen your you have struck for the stranger palms your.

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger.

2 You have been ensnared by [the] words of mouth your you have been caught by [the] words of mouth your.

Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.

3 Do this then - O son my and deliver yourself for you have come in [the] palm of neighbor your go humble yourself and importune neighbor your.

Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:

4 May not you give sleep to eyes your and slumber to eyelids your.

Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.

5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand and like a bird from [the] hand of a fowler.

Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6 Go to an ant O sluggard consider ways its and become wise.

Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:

7 Which not [belongs] to it [is] commander of icer and ruler.

Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,

8 It prepares in the summer food its it gathers at the harvest food its.

Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9 Until when? O sluggard - will you lie down when? will you rise from sleep your.

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?

10 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.

Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:

11 And it will come like a traveler poverty your and lack your like a man of shield.

And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.

12 A person of worthlessness a person of wickedness [is] walking crookedness of mouth.

A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,

13 [he is] winking (With eyes his *QK) [he is] scraping (with feet his *QK) [he is] pointing with fingers his.

He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.

14 Perverse things - [are] in heart his [he is] devising evil at every time (contentions *QK) he sends out.

With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.

15 There-fore suddenly it will come disaster his an instant he will be broken and there not [will be] healing.

To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.

16 Six [things] those he hates Yahweh and [are] seven ([the] disgusting thing of *QK) self his.

Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:

17 Eyes haughty a tongue of falsehood and hands [which] shed blood innocent.

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart [which] devises plans of wickedness feet [which] hurry to run to evil.

A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,

19 [who] he breathes out Lies a witness of falsehood and [one who] spreads contentions between brothers.

A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.

20 Keep O son my [the] commandment of father your and may not you forsake [the] instruction of mother your.

My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

21 Bind them on heart your continually tie them on necks your.

Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.

22 When walking about you - it will guide you when lying down you it will watch over you and you will awake it it will speak to you.

When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.

23 For [is] a lamp [the] commandment and [the] instruction [is] a light and [are] a way of life rebukes of discipline.

Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24 To keep you from a woman of evil from smoothness of tongue a foreign [woman].

That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.

25 May not you desire beauty her in heart your and may not she capture you with eyelids her.

Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

26 For [the] price a woman a prostitute to a round loaf of bread and [the] wife of a man a life precious she hunts.

For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.

27 ¿ Will he snatch up a man fire in bosom his and garments his not will they be burned?

Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?

28 Or? will he walk? a man on burning coals and feet his not will they be scorched.

Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?

29 [is] thus The [one who] goes into [the] wife of neighbor his not he will go unpunished every [one who] touches her.

So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.

30 Not people despise the thief if he will steal to fill appetite his for he will be hungry.

The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:

31 And he will be found out he will make restitution sevenfold all [the] wealth of house his he will give.

And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.

32 [one who] commits adultery A woman [is] lacking of heart [one who] destroys own self his he he will do it.

But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:

33 A wound and shame he will find and reproach his not it will be wiped away.

He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:

34 For jealousy [is the] rage of a man and not he will have compassion on a day of vengeance.

Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,

35 Not he will lift up [the] face of any ransom and not he will be willing for you will make great a bribe.

Nor will he yield to any man’s prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.
