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.

Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.

winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,
(ESV)
Proverbs
6

14
with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;

15
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

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.

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,

24
to preserve you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

25
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;

for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread, but a married woman hunts down a precious life.
