  6:1 ¶
[My] son, if thou become surety for thy friend, thou shalt deliver thine hand to an enemy. |
|
6:1 ¶
My son,°
if°
thou be surety°°
for thy friend,°
[if] thou hast stricken°°
thy hand°
with a stranger,°° |
|
6:2
For a man's own lips become a strong snare to him, and he is caught with the lips of his own mouth. |
|
6:2
Thou art snared°°
with the words°
of thy mouth,°
thou art taken°°
with the words°
of thy mouth.° |
|
6:3
[My] son, do what I command thee, and deliver thyself; for on thy friend's account thou art come into the power of evil [men]: faint not, but stir up even thy friend for whom thou art become surety. |
|
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 with thine eyelids; |
|
6:4
Give°°
not°
sleep°
to thine eyes,°
nor slumber°
to thine eyelids.° |
|
6:5
that thou mayest deliver thyself as a doe out of the toils, and as a bird out of a snare. |
|
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, O sluggard; and see, and emulate his ways, and become wiser than he. |
|
6:6 ¶
Go°°°
to°
the ant,°
thou sluggard;°
consider°°
her ways,°
and be wise:°° |
|
6:7
For whereas he has no husbandry, nor any one to compel him, and is under no master, |
|
6:7
Which°
having no°
guide,°
overseer,°°
or ruler,°° |
|
6:8
he prepares food for himself in the summer, and lays by abundant store in harvest. Or go to the bee, and learn how diligent she is, and how earnestly she is engaged in her work; whose labours kings and private men use for health, and she is desired and respected by all: though weak in body, she is advanced by honouring wisdom. |
|
6:8
Provideth°°
her meat°
in the summer,°
[and] gathereth°°
her food°
in the harvest.° |
|
6:9
How long wilt thou lie, O sluggard? and when wilt thou awake out of sleep? |
|
6:9
How long°°
wilt thou sleep,°°
O sluggard?°
when°
wilt thou arise°°
out of thy sleep?°° |
|
6:10
Thou sleepest a little, and thou restest a little, and thou slumberest a short [time], and thou foldest thine arms over thy breast a little. |
|
6:10
[Yet] a little°
sleep,°
a little°
slumber,°
a little°
folding°
of the hands°
to sleep:°° |
|
6:11
Then poverty comes upon thee as an evil traveller, and want as a swift courier: but if thou be diligent, thine harvest shall arrive as a fountain, and poverty shall flee away as a bad courier. |
|
6:11
So shall thy poverty°
come°°
as one that travelleth,°°
and thy want°
as an armed°
man.° |
|
6:12 ¶
A foolish man and a transgressor goes in ways that are not good. |
|
6:12 ¶
A naughty°
person,°
a wicked°
man,°
walketh°°
with a froward°
mouth.° |
|
6:13
And the same winks with the eye, and makes a sign with his foot, and teaches with the beckonings of his fingers. |
|
6:13
He winketh°°
with his eyes,°
he speaketh°°
with his feet,°
he teacheth°°
with his fingers;° |
|
6:14
[His] perverse heart devises evils: at all times such a one causes troubles to a city. |
|
6:14
Frowardness°
[is] in his heart,°
he deviseth°°
mischief°
continually;°°
he soweth°°
discord.°°° |
|
6:15
Therefore his destruction shall come suddenly; overthrow and irretrievable ruin. |
|
6:15
Therefore°°
shall his calamity°
come°°
suddenly;°
suddenly°
shall he be broken°°
without°
remedy.° |
|
6:16 ¶
For he rejoices in all things which God hates, and he is ruined by reason of impurity of soul. |
|
6:16 ¶
These°
six°
[things] doth Yahweh°
hate:°°
yea, seven°
[are] an abomination°
unto him:° |
|
6:17
The eye of the haughty, a tongue unjust, hands shedding the blood of the just; |
|
6:17
A proud°°
look,°
a lying°
tongue,°
and hands°
that shed°°
innocent°
blood,° |
|
6:18
and a heart devising evil thoughts, and feet hastening to do evil,-- [are hateful to God]. |
|
6:18
An heart°
that deviseth°°
wicked°
imaginations,°
feet°
that be swift°°
in running°°
to mischief,° |
|
6:19
An unjust witness kindles falsehoods, and brings on quarrels between brethren. |
|
6:19
A false°
witness°
[that] speaketh°°
lies,°
and he that soweth°°
discord°
among°
brethren.° |
|
6:20 ¶
[My] son, keep the laws of thy father, and reject not the ordinances of thy mother: |
|
6:20 ¶
My son,°
keep°°
thy father's°
commandment,°
and forsake°°
not°
the law°
of thy mother:° |
|
6:21
but bind them upon thy soul continually, and hang them as a chain about thy neck. |
|
6:21
Bind°°
them continually°
upon°
thine heart,°
[and] tie°°
them about°
thy neck.° |
|
6:22
Whensoever thou walkest, lead this along and let it be with thee; that it may talk with thee when thou wakest. |
|
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 of the law is a lamp and a light; a way of life; reproof also and correction: |
|
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 continually from a married woman, and from the calumny of a strange tongue. |
|
6:24
To keep°°
thee from the evil°
woman,°°
from the flattery°°
of the tongue°
of a strange woman.° |
|
6:25
Let not the desire of beauty overcome thee, neither be thou caught by thine eyes, neither be captivated with her eyelids. |
|
6:25
Lust°°
not°
after her beauty°
in thine heart;°
neither°
let her take°°
thee with her eyelids.° |
|
6:26
For the value of a harlot is as much as of one loaf; and a woman hunts for the precious souls of men. |
|
6:26
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.° |
|
6:27
Shall any one bind fire in his bosom, and not burn his garments? |
|
6:27
Can a man°
take°°
fire°
in his bosom,°
and his clothes°
not°
be burned?°° |
|
6:28
or will any one walk on coals of fire, and not burn his feet? |
|
6:28
Can°
one°
go°°
upon°
hot coals,°
and his feet°
not°
be burned?°° |
|
6:29
So is he that goes in to a married woman; he shall not be held guiltless, neither any one that touches her. |
|
6:29
So°
he that goeth in°°
to°
his neighbour's°
wife;°
whosoever°
toucheth°°
her shall not°
be innocent.°° |
|
6:30
It is not to be wondered at if one should be taken stealing, for he steals that when hungry he may satisfy his soul: |
|
6:30
[Men] do not°
despise°°
a thief,°
if°
he steal°°
to satisfy°°
his soul°
when°
he is hungry;°° |
|
6:31
but if he should be taken, he shall repay sevenfold, and shall deliver himself by giving all his goods. |
|
6:31
But [if] he be found,°°
he shall restore°°
sevenfold;°
he shall give°°°
all°
the substance°
of his house.° |
|
6:32
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul. |
|
6:32
[But] whoso committeth adultery°°
with a woman°
lacketh°
understanding:°
he°
[that] doeth°°
it destroyeth°°
his own soul.° |
|
6:33
He endures both pain and disgrace, and his reproach shall never be wiped off. |
|
6:33
A wound°
and dishonour°
shall he get;°°
and his reproach°
shall not°
be wiped away.°° |
|
6:34
For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy: he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
|
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 forego [his] enmity for any ransom: neither will he be reconciled for many gifts. |
|
6:35
He will not°
regard°°°
any°
ransom;°
neither°
will he rest content,°°
though°
thou givest many°°
gifts.° |
