ASV_Strong : Proverbs 6
1. My son[H1121], if thou art become surety[H6148] for thy neighbor[H7453], If thou hast stricken[H8628] thy hands[H3709] for a stranger[H2114];
2. Thou art snared[H3369] with the words[H561] of thy mouth[H6310], Thou art taken[H3920] with the words[H561] of thy mouth[H6310].
3. Do[H6213] this now[H645], my son[H1121], and deliver[H5337] thyself[H935], Seeing thou art come into the hand[H3709] of thy neighbor[H7453]: Go[H3212], humble[H7511] thyself[H7292], and importune thy neighbor[H7453];
4. Give[H5414] not sleep[H8142] to thine eyes[H5869], Nor slumber[H8572] to thine eyelids[H6079];
5. Deliver[H5337] thyself as a roe[H6643] from the hand[H3027] of the hunter[H6833], And as a bird from the hand[H3027] of the fowler[H3353].
6. Go[H3212] to the ant[H5244], thou sluggard[H6102]; Consider[H7200] her ways[H1870], and be wise[H2449]:
7. Which having no chief[H7101], Overseer[H7860], or ruler[H4910],
8. Provideth[H3559] her bread[H3899] in the summer[H7019], And gathereth[H103] her food[H3978] in the harvest[H7105].
9. How long wilt thou sleep[H7901], O sluggard[H6102]? When wilt thou arise[H6965] out of thy sleep[H8142]?
10. Yet a little[H4592] sleep[H8142], a little[H4592] slumber[H8572], A little[H4592] folding[H2264] of the hands[H3027] to sleep[H7901]:
11. So shall thy poverty[H7389] come[H935] as a robber[H1980], And thy want[H4270] as an armed[H4043] man[H376].
12. A worthless[H1100] person[H120], a man[H376] of iniquity[H205], Is he that walketh[H1980] with a perverse[H6143] mouth[H6310];
13. That winketh[H7169] with his eyes[H5869], that speaketh[H4448] with his feet[H7272], That maketh[H3384] signs with his fingers[H676];
14. In whose heart[H3820] is perverseness[H8419], Who deviseth[H2790] evil[H7451] continually[H6256], Who soweth[H7971] discord[H4066].
15. Therefore shall his calamity[H343] come[H935] suddenly[H6597]; On a sudden[H6621] shall he be broken[H7665], and that without remedy[H4832].
16. There are six[H8337] things which Jehovah[H3068] hateth[H8130]; Yea[H7651], seven which are an abomination[H8441] unto him[H5315]:
17. Haughty[H7311] eyes[H5869], a lying[H8267] tongue[H3956], And hands[H3027] that shed[H8210] innocent[H5355] blood[H1818];
18. A heart[H3820] that deviseth[H2790] wicked[H205] purposes[H4284], Feet[H7272] that are swift[H4116] in running[H7323] to mischief[H7451],
19. A false[H8267] witness[H5707] that uttereth[H6315] lies[H3577], And he that soweth[H7971] discord[H4090] among brethren[H251].
20. My son[H1121], keep[H5341] the commandment[H4687] of thy father[H1], And forsake[H5203] not the law[H8451] of thy mother[H517]:
21. Bind[H7194] them continually[H8548] upon thy heart[H3820]; Tie[H6029] them about thy neck[H1621].
22. When thou walkest[H1980], it shall lead[H5148] thee[H7901]; When thou sleepest, it shall watch[H8104] over thee[H6974]; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee[H7878].
23. For the commandment[H4687] is a lamp[H5216]; And the law[H8451] is light[H216]; And reproofs[H8433] of instruction[H4148] are the way[H1870] of life[H2416]:
24. To keep[H8104] thee from the evil[H7451] woman[H802], From the flattery[H2513] of the foreigner[H5237]'s tongue[H3956].
25. Lust[H2530] not after her beauty[H3308] in thy heart[H3824]; Neither let her take[H3947] thee with her eyelids[H6079].
26. For on account of[H1157] a[H802] harlot[H2181] a man is brought to a piece[H3603] of bread[H3899]; And the adulteress[H802] hunteth[H6679] for the precious[H3368] life[H5315].
27. Can a man[H376] take[H2846] fire[H784] in his bosom[H2436], And his clothes[H899] not be burned[H8313]?
28. Or can one[H376] walk[H1980] upon hot coals[H1513], And his feet[H7272] not be scorched[H3554]?
29. So he that goeth in[H935] to his neighbor[H7453]'s wife[H802]; Whosoever toucheth[H5060] her shall not be unpunished[H5352].
30. Men do not despise[H936] a thief[H1590], if he steal[H1589] To satisfy[H4390] himself[H5315] when he is hungry[H7456]:
31. But if he be found[H4672], he shall restore[H7999] sevenfold[H7659]; He shall give[H5414] all the substance[H1952] of his house[H1004].
32. He that committeth adultery[H5003] with a woman[H802] is void[H2638] of understanding[H3820]: He doeth[H6213] it who would destroy[H7843] his own soul[H5315].
33. Wounds[H5061] and dishonor[H7036] shall he get[H4672]; And his reproach[H2781] shall not be wiped away[H4229].
34. For jealousy[H7068] is the rage[H2534] of a man[H1397]; And he will not spare[H2550] in the day[H3117] of vengeance[H5359].
35. He will not regard[H5375] any ransom[H3724]; Neither will he rest content[H14], though thou givest many[H7235] gifts[H7810].
