(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 2 if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 3 then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 4 Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 5 save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 7 Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 8 she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 9 How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 12 A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 13 winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 14 with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 16 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 21 Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 22 When you walk, they will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 23 For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 24 to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 25 Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 26 for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 27 Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 28 Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 30 People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 31 but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 32 He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 33 He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 34 For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
(ESV) Proverbs 6 : 35 He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
