Proverbs 6 (kjv)

My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,²Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.³Do 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.⁴Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.⁵Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

⁶Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:⁷Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,⁸Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.⁹How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?¹⁰Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:¹¹So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

¹²A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.¹³He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;¹⁴Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord .¹⁵Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

¹⁶These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:¹⁷A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,¹⁸An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,¹⁹A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

²⁰My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:²¹Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.²²When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.²³For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.²⁶For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.²⁷Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?²⁸Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?²⁹So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.³⁰Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;³¹But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.³²But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.³³A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.³⁴For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.³⁵He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
