MY son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017197">2</a>. Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017198">3</a>. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017199">4</a>. Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017200">5</a>. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017201">6</a>. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017202">7</a>. Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017203">8</a>. Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017204">9</a>. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?  when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017205">10</a>. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017206">11</a>. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017207">12</a>. A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017208">13</a>. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017209">14</a>. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017210">15</a>. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017211">16</a>. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017212">17</a>. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017213">18</a>. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017214">19</a>. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017215">20</a>. My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017216">21</a>. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017217">22</a>. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017218">23</a>. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017219">24</a>. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017220">25</a>. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017221">26</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017222">27</a>. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017223">28</a>. Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017224">29</a>. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017225">30</a>. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017226">31</a>. But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017227">32</a>. But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017228">33</a>. A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017229">34</a>. For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017230">35</a>. He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.</li>
