Proverbs 06 01-35 ABV – Foolishness
My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given a pledge for a stranger,
if you have been snared with the words of your mouth, have been caught with the words of your mouth,
do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids;
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter’s hand and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise,
which, having no guide, overseer or ruler,
prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest.
How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest.
Your poverty will come in like a robber, and your need like an armed man.
A worthless person, a wicked man, is the one who walks with a perverse mouth;
who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who points with his fingers;
who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, who spreads strife.
Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; he will be broken instantly and without remedy.
There are 6 things which the Lord hates, yes, 7 which are an abomination to Him:
arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil,
a false witness who utters lies, and one who stirs up strife among brothers.
My son, observe the commandment of your father and do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
bind them continually on your heart; tie them around your neck.
When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will talk to you.
For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; and reproofs for discipline are the way of life;
to keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery tongue of the adulteress.
Do not desire her beauty in your heart, nor let her captivate you with her eyelids.
For on account of a whore, one is reduced to a loaf of bread, yet an adulteress hunts for the precious life.
Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
Or can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; whoever touches her will not go unpunished.
A thief is not despised when he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;
yet when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; he must give all the substance of his house.
The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who does it would destroy himself;
he will find wounds and disgrace, and his reproach will not be wiped out.
For jealousy enrages a man, and he will not show mercy in the day of vengeance;
he will not accept any ransom, nor will he be persuaded though you give many gifts.
