< Proverbs 6 >

1 My son, if you have made yourself responsible for your neighbour, or given your word for another,
O son my if you have stood surety for fellow-citizen your you have struck for the stranger palms your.
2 You are taken as in a net by the words of your mouth, the sayings of your lips have overcome you.
You have been ensnared by [the] words of mouth your you have been caught by [the] words of mouth your.
3 Do this, my son, and make yourself free, because you have come into the power of your neighbour; go without waiting, and make a strong request to your neighbour.
Do this then - O son my and deliver yourself for you have come in [the] palm of neighbor your go humble yourself and importune neighbor your.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes, or rest to them;
May not you give sleep to eyes your and slumber to eyelids your.
5 Make yourself free, like the roe from the hand of the archer, and the bird from him who puts a net for her.
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand and like a bird from [the] hand of a fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise:
Go to an ant O sluggard consider ways its and become wise.
7 Having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
Which not [belongs] to it [is] commander of icer and ruler.
8 She gets her meat in the summer, storing up food at the time of the grain-cutting.
It prepares in the summer food its it gathers at the harvest food its.
9 How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?
Until when? O sluggard - will you lie down when? will you rise from sleep your.
10 A little sleep, a little rest, a little folding of the hands in sleep:
A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
11 Then loss will come on you like an outlaw, and your need like an armed man
And it will come like a traveler poverty your and lack your like a man of shield.
12 A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;
A person of worthlessness a person of wickedness [is] walking crookedness of mouth.
13 Making signs with his eyes, rubbing with his feet, and giving news with his fingers;
[he is] winking (With eyes his *Q(K)*) [he is] scraping (with feet his *Q(K)*) [he is] pointing with fingers his.
14 His mind is ever designing evil: he lets loose violent acts.
Perverse things - [are] in heart his [he is] devising evil at every time (contentions *Q(K)*) he sends out.
15 For this cause his downfall will be sudden; quickly he will be broken, and there will be no help for him.
There-fore suddenly it will come disaster his an instant he will be broken and there not [will be] healing.
16 Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
Six [things] those he hates Yahweh and [are] seven ([the] disgusting thing of *Q(K)*) self his.
17 Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
Eyes haughty a tongue of falsehood and hands [which] shed blood innocent.
18 A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
A heart [which] devises plans of wickedness feet [which] hurry to run to evil.
19 A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
[who] he breathes out Lies a witness of falsehood and [one who] spreads contentions between brothers.
20 My son, keep the rule of your father, and have in memory the teaching of your mother:
Keep O son my [the] commandment of father your and may not you forsake [the] instruction of mother your.
21 Keep them ever folded in your heart, and have them hanging round your neck.
Bind them on heart your continually tie them on necks your.
22 In your walking, it will be your guide; when you are sleeping, it will keep watch over you; when you are awake, it will have talk with you.
When walking about you - it will guide you when lying down you it will watch over you and you will awake it it will speak to you.
23 For the rule is a light, and the teaching a shining light; and the guiding words of training are the way of life.
For [is] a lamp [the] commandment and [the] instruction [is] a light and [are] a way of life rebukes of discipline.
24 They will keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the strange woman.
To keep you from a woman of evil from smoothness of tongue a foreign [woman].
25 Let not your heart's desire go after her fair body; let not her eyes take you prisoner.
May not you desire beauty her in heart your and may not she capture you with eyelids her.
26 For a loose woman is looking for a cake of bread, but another man's wife goes after one's very life.
For [the] price a woman a prostitute to a round loaf of bread and [the] wife of a man a life precious she hunts.
27 May a man take fire to his breast without burning his clothing?
¿ Will he snatch up a man fire in bosom his and garments his not will they be burned?
28 Or may one go on lighted coals, and his feet not be burned?
Or? will he walk? a man on burning coals and feet his not will they be scorched.
29 So it is with him who goes in to his neighbour's wife; he who has anything to do with her will not go free from punishment.
[is] thus The [one who] goes into [the] wife of neighbor his not he will go unpunished every [one who] touches her.
30 Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:
Not people despise the thief if he will steal to fill appetite his for he will be hungry.
31 But if he is taken in the act he will have to give back seven times as much, giving up all his property which is in his house.
And he will be found out he will make restitution sevenfold all [the] wealth of house his he will give.
32 He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.
[one who] commits adultery A woman [is] lacking of heart [one who] destroys own self his he he will do it.
33 Wounds will be his and loss of honour, and his shame may not be washed away.
A wound and shame he will find and reproach his not it will be wiped away.
34 For bitter is the wrath of an angry husband; in the day of punishment he will have no mercy.
For jealousy [is the] rage of a man and not he will have compassion on a day of vengeance.
35 He will not take any payment; and he will not make peace with you though your money offerings are increased.
Not he will lift up [the] face of any ransom and not he will be willing for you will make great a bribe.
