< 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 hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,
2 You have been ensnared by [the] words of mouth your you have been caught by [the] words of mouth your.
Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings 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 be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
4 May not you give sleep to eyes your and slumber to eyelids your.
Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hand and like a bird from [the] hand of a fowler.
Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
6 Go to an ant O sluggard consider ways its and become wise.
Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
7 Which not [belongs] to it [is] commander of icer and ruler.
Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,
8 It prepares in the summer food its it gathers at the harvest food its.
She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
9 Until when? O sluggard - will you lie down when? will you rise from sleep your.
Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
10 A little of sleep a little of slumber a little of - folding of hands to rest.
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
11 And it will come like a traveler poverty your and lack your like a man of shield.
And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
12 A person of worthlessness a person of wickedness [is] walking crookedness of mouth.
A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with] perverseness of mouth,
13 [he is] winking (With eyes his *Q(K)*) [he is] scraping (with feet his *Q(K)*) [he is] pointing with fingers his.
Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing 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, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
15 There-fore suddenly it will come disaster his an instant he will be broken and there not [will be] healing.
Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken — and no healing.
16 Six [things] those he hates Yahweh and [are] seven ([the] disgusting thing of *Q(K)*) self his.
These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.
17 Eyes haughty a tongue of falsehood and hands [which] shed blood innocent.
Eyes high — tongues false — And hands shedding innocent blood —
18 A heart [which] devises plans of wickedness feet [which] hurry to run to evil.
A heart devising thoughts of vanity — Feet hasting to run to evil —
19 [who] he breathes out Lies a witness of falsehood and [one who] spreads contentions between brothers.
A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies — And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
20 Keep O son my [the] commandment of father your and may not you forsake [the] instruction of mother your.
Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.
21 Bind them on heart your continually tie them on necks your.
Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on 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.
In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked — it talketh [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 a lamp [is] the command, And the law a light, And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction,
24 To keep you from a woman of evil from smoothness of tongue a foreign [woman].
To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 May not you desire beauty her in heart your and may not she capture you with eyelids her.
Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not 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 a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
27 ¿ Will he snatch up a man fire in bosom his and garments his not will they be burned?
Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
28 Or? will he walk? a man on burning coals and feet his not will they be scorched.
Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not 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 [is] he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
30 Not people despise the thief if he will steal to fill appetite his for he will be hungry.
They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill 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.
And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
32 [one who] commits adultery A woman [is] lacking of heart [one who] destroys own self his he he will do it.
He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
33 A wound and shame he will find and reproach his not it will be wiped away.
A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not 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 fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a 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 accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
