1 # My son <01121>, if thou be surety <06148> (8804) for thy friend <07453>, if thou hast stricken <08628> (8804) thy hand <03709> with a stranger <02114> (8801),
2 Thou art snared <03369> (8738) with the words <0561> of thy mouth <06310>, thou art taken <03920> (8738) with the words <0561> of thy mouth <06310>.
3 Do <06213> (8798) this now <0645>, my son <01121>, and deliver <05337> (8734) thyself, when thou art come <0935> (8804) into the hand <03709> of thy friend <07453>; go <03212> (8798), humble <07511> (8690) thyself, and make sure <07292> (8798) thy friend <07453>.
 - FRIENDS
4 Give <05414> (8799) not sleep <08142> to thine eyes <05869>, nor slumber <08572> to thine eyelids <06079>.
5 Deliver <05337> (8734) thyself as a roe <06643> from the hand <03027> of the hunter, and as a bird <06833> from the hand <03027> of the fowler <03353>.
6 # Go <03212> (8798) to the ant <05244>, thou sluggard <06102>; consider <07200> (8798) her ways <01870>, and be wise <02449> (8798):
7 Which having no guide <07101>, overseer <07860> (8802), or ruler <04910> (8802),
8 Provideth <03559> (8686) her meat <03899> in the summer <07019>, and gathereth <0103> (8804) her food <03978> in the harvest <07105>.
9 How long wilt thou sleep <07901> (8799), O sluggard <06102>? when wilt thou arise <06965> (8799) out of thy sleep <08142>?
10 Yet a little <04592> sleep <08142>, a little <04592> slumber <08572>, a little <04592> folding <02264> of the hands <03027> to sleep <07901> (8800):
11 So shall thy poverty <07389> come <0935> (8804) as one that travelleth <01980> (8764), and thy want <04270> as an armed <04043> man <0376>.
12 # A naughty <01100> person <0120>, a wicked <0205> man <0376>, walketh <01980> (8802) with a froward <06143> mouth <06310>.
13 He winketh <07169> (8802) with his eyes <05869>, he speaketh <04448> (8802) with his feet <07272> , he teacheth <03384> (8688) with his fingers <0676>;
14 Frowardness <08419> is in his heart <03820>, he deviseth <02790> (8802) mischief <07451> continually <06256>; he soweth <07971> (8762) discord <04066> (8675) <04090>.
15 Therefore shall his calamity <0343> come <0935> (8799) suddenly <06597>; suddenly <06621> shall he be broken <07665> (8735) without remedy <04832>.
16 These six <08337> things doth the LORD <03068> hate <08130> (8804): yea, seven <07651> are an abomination <08441> unto him <05315>:
17 A proud <07311> (8802) look <05869>, a lying <08267> tongue <03956>, and hands <03027> that shed <08210> (8802) innocent <05355> blood <01818>,
18 An heart <03820> that deviseth <02790> (8802) wicked <0205> imaginations <04284>, feet <07272> that be swift <04116> (8764) in running <07323> (8800) to mischief <07451>,
19 A false <08267> witness <05707> that speaketh <06315> (8686) lies <03577>, and he that soweth <07971> (8764) discord <04090> among brethren <0251>.
20 # My son <01121>, keep <05341> (8798) thy father's <01> commandment <04687>, and forsake <05203> (8799) not the law <08451> of thy mother <0517>:
21 Bind <07194> (8798) them continually <08548> upon thine heart <03820>, and tie <06029> (8798) them about thy neck <01621>.
 - MEDITATION
22 When thou goest <01980> (8692), it shall lead <05148> (8686) thee; when thou sleepest <07901> (8800) , it shall keep <08104> (8799) thee; and when thou awakest <06974> (8689), it shall talk <07878> (8799) with thee.
23 For the commandment <04687> is a lamp <05216>; and the law <08451> is light <0216>; and reproofs <08433> of instruction <04148> are the way <01870> of life <02416>:
 - GOD'S WORD - FUNCTIONS
24 To keep <08104> (8800) thee from the evil <07451> woman <0802>, from the flattery <02513> of the tongue <03956> of a strange woman <05237>.
25 Lust <02530> (8799) not after her beauty <03308> in thine heart <03824>; neither let her take <03947> (8799) thee with her eyelids <06079>.
26 For by means of <01157> a whorish <02181> (8802) woman <0802> a man is brought to a piece <03603> of bread <03899>: and the adulteress <0802> <0376> will hunt <06679> (8799) for the precious <03368> life <05315>.
27 Can a man <0376> take <02846> (8799) fire <0784> in his bosom <02436>, and his clothes <0899> not be burned <08313> (8735)?
28 Can one <0376> go <01980> (8762) upon hot coals <01513>, and his feet <07272> not be burned <03554> (8735)?
29 So he that goeth in <0935> (8802) to his neighbour's <07453> wife <0802>; whosoever toucheth <05060> (8802) her shall not be innocent <05352> (8735).
30 Men do not despise <0936> (8799) a thief <01590>, if he steal <01589> (8799) to satisfy <04390> (8763) his soul <05315> when he is hungry <07456> (8799);
31 But if he be found <04672> (8738), he shall restore <07999> (8762) sevenfold <07659>; he shall give <05414> (8799) all the substance <01952> of his house <01004>.
 - THEFT
32 But whoso committeth adultery <05003> (8802) with a woman <0802> lacketh <02638> understanding <03820> : he that doeth <06213> (8799) it destroyeth <07843> (8688) his own soul <05315>.
 - ADULTERY
33 A wound <05061> and dishonour <07036> shall he get <04672> (8799); and his reproach <02781> shall not be wiped away <04229> (8735).
34 For jealousy <07068> is the rage <02534> of a man <01397>: therefore he will not spare <02550> (8799) in the day <03117> of vengeance <05359>.
35 He will not regard <05375> (8799) <06440> any ransom <03724>; neither will he rest content <014> (8799) , though thou givest many <07235> (8686) gifts <07810>.
