Proverbs 6
|
|
| 6:1
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand
with a stranger, |
|
| 6:2
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words
of thy mouth. |
|
| 6:3
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. |
|
| 6:4
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
|
| 6:5
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from
the hand of the fowler. |
|
| 6:6
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: |
|
| 6:7
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, |
|
| 6:8
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. |
|
| 6:9
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy
sleep? |
|
| 6:10
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep: |
|
| 6:11
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed
man. |
|
| 6:12
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. |
|
| 6:13
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his
fingers; |
|
| 6:14
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth
discord. |
|
| 6:15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken
without remedy. |
|
| 6:16
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto
him: |
God doesn't love everyone.
(He hates some people.)
Does God love everyone?
Theologikos: Christians: Stop quoting the bible out of context!
Who does God hate?
|
| 6:17
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, |
|
| 6:18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running
to mischief, |
|
| 6:19
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among
brethren. |
|
| 6:20
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy
mother: |
|
| 6:21
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. |
|
| 6:22
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep
thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. |
|
| 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of
instruction are the way of life: |
|
| 6:24
To keep thee from the evil
woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. |
(6"25-27)
Watch out for those evil, strange, and whorish women.
|
| 6:25
Lust not after her
beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
|
| 6:26
For by means of a whorish
woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt
for the precious life. |
|
| 6:27
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? |
|
| 6:28
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? |
|
| 6:29
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall
not be innocent. |
|
| 6:30
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is
hungry; |
|
| 6:31
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the
substance of his house. |
|
| 6:32
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that
doeth it destroyeth his own soul. |
|
| 6:33
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped
away. |
|
| 6:34
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day
of vengeance. |
|
| 6:35
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou
givest many gifts.
