< Proverbs 6 >

1 O son my if you have stood surety for fellow-citizen your you have struck for the stranger palms your.
My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbour, if thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger,
2 You have been ensnared by [the] words of mouth your you have been caught by [the] words of mouth your.
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 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.
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbour; go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbour.
4 May not you give sleep to eyes your and slumber to eyelids your.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand and like a bird from [the] hand of a fowler.
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 Go to an ant O sluggard consider ways its and become wise.
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 Which not [belongs] to it [is] commander of icer and ruler.
Which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
8 It prepares in the summer food its it gathers at the harvest food its.
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 Until when? O sluggard - will you lie down when? will you rise from sleep your.
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 And it will come like a traveler poverty your and lack your like a man of shield.
So shall thy poverty come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.
12 A person of worthlessness a person of wickedness [is] walking crookedness of mouth.
A worthless person, a man of iniquity; he walketh with a froward mouth;
13 [he is] winking (With eyes his *Q(K)*) [he is] scraping (with feet his *Q(K)*) [he is] pointing with fingers his.
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he maketh signs with his fingers;
14 Perverse things - [are] in heart his [he is] devising evil at every time (contentions *Q(K)*) he sends out.
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord.
15 There-fore suddenly it will come disaster his an instant he will be broken and there not [will be] healing.
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken and that without remedy.
16 Six [things] those he hates Yahweh and [are] seven ([the] disgusting thing of *Q(K)*) self his.
There be six things which the LORD hateth; yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
17 Eyes haughty a tongue of falsehood and hands [which] shed blood innocent.
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;
18 A heart [which] devises plans of wickedness feet [which] hurry to run to evil.
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief;
19 [who] he breathes out Lies a witness of falsehood and [one who] spreads contentions between brothers.
A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 Keep O son my [the] commandment of father your and may not you forsake [the] instruction of mother your.
My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them on heart your continually tie them on necks your.
Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.
22 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.
When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For [is] a lamp [the] commandment and [the] instruction [is] a light and [are] a way of life rebukes of discipline.
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 To keep you from a woman of evil from smoothness of tongue a foreign [woman].
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger’s tongue.
25 May not you desire beauty her in heart your and may not she capture you with eyelids her.
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 For [the] price a woman a prostitute to a round loaf of bread and [the] wife of a man a life precious she hunts.
For on account of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27 ¿ Will he snatch up a man fire in bosom his and garments his not will they be burned?
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Or? will he walk? a man on burning coals and feet his not will they be scorched.
Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
29 [is] thus The [one who] goes into [the] wife of neighbor his not he will go unpunished every [one who] touches her.
So he that goeth in to his nieghbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
30 Not people despise the thief if he will steal to fill appetite his for he will be hungry.
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry:
31 And he will be found out he will make restitution sevenfold all [the] wealth of house his he will give.
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 [one who] commits adultery A woman [is] lacking of heart [one who] destroys own self his he he will do it.
He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he doeth it that would destroy his own soul.
33 A wound and shame he will find and reproach his not it will be wiped away.
Wounds and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 For jealousy [is the] rage of a man and not he will have compassion on a day of vengeance.
For jealousy is the rage of a man; and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 Not he will lift up [the] face of any ransom and not he will be willing for you will make great a bribe.
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
