My son, 1121 if thou be surety 6148-1 for thy friend, 7453 [if] thou hast stricken 8628-1 thy hand 3709 with a stranger, 2114-5 |
| 2 |
Thou art snared 3369-8 with the words 561 of thy mouth, 6310 thou art taken 3920-8 with the words 561 of thy mouth. 6310 |
| 3 |
Do 6213-3 this now, 645 my son, 1121 and deliver 5337-10 thyself, when thou art come 935-1 into the hand 3709 of thy friend; 7453 go, 3212-3 humble 7511-100 thyself, and make sure 7292-3 thy friend. 7453 |
| 4 |
Give 5414-4 not sleep 8142 to thine eyes, 5869 nor slumber 8572 to thine eyelids. 6079 |
| 5 |
Deliver 5337-10 thyself as a roe 6643 from the hand 3027 [of the hunter], and as a bird 6833 from the hand 3027 of the fowler. 3353 |
| 6 |
Go 3212-3 to the ant, 5244 thou sluggard; 6102 consider 7200-3 her ways, 1870 and be wise: 2449-3 |
| 7 |
Which having no guide, 7101 overseer, 7860-6 or ruler, 4910-6 |
| 8 |
Provideth 3559-55 her meat 3899 in the summer, 7019 [and] gathereth 103-1 her food 3978 in the harvest. 7105 |
| 9 |
How long wilt thou sleep, 7901-4 O sluggard? 6102 when wilt thou arise 6965-4 out of thy sleep? 8142 |
| 10 |
[Yet] a little 4592 sleep, 8142 a little 4592 slumber, 8572 a little 4592 folding 2264 of the hands 3027 to sleep: 7901-2 |
| 11 |
So shall thy poverty 7389 come 935-1 as one that travelleth, 1980-18 and thy want 4270 as an armed 4043 man. 376 |
| 12 |
A naughty 1100 person, 120 a wicked 205 man, 376 walketh 1980-6 with a froward 6143 mouth. 6310 |
| 13 |
He winketh 7169-6 with his eyes, 5869 he speaketh 4448-6 with his feet, 7272 he teacheth 3384-56 with his fingers; 676 |
| 14 |
Frowardness 8419 [is] in his heart, 3820 he deviseth 2790-6 mischief 7451 continually; 6256 he soweth 7971-17 discord. 4066|4090-k |
| 15 |
Therefore shall his calamity 343 come 935-4 suddenly; 6597 suddenly 6621 shall he be broken 7665-11 without remedy. 4832 |
| 16 |
These six 8337 [things] doth the LORD 3068 hate: 8130-1 yea, seven 7651 [are] an abomination 8441 unto him: 5315 |
| 17 |
A proud 7311-6 look, 5869 a lying 8267 tongue, 3956 and hands 3027 that shed 8210-6 innocent 5355 blood, 1818 |
| 18 |
An heart 3820 that deviseth 2790-6 wicked 205 imaginations, 4284 feet 7272 that be swift 4116-18 in running 7323-2 to mischief, 7451 |
| 19 |
A false 8267 witness 5707 [that] speaketh 6315-55 lies, 3577 and he that soweth 7971-18 discord 4090 among brethren. 251 |
| 20 |
My son, 1121 keep 5341-3 thy father's 1 commandment, 4687 and forsake 5203-4 not the law 8451 of thy mother: 517 |
| 21 |
Bind 7194-3 them continually 8548 upon thine heart, 3820 [and] tie 6029-3 them about thy neck. 1621 |
| 22 |
When thou goest, 1980-99 it shall lead 5148-55 thee; when thou sleepest, 7901-2 it shall keep 8104-4 thee; and [when] thou awakest, 6974-52 it shall talk 7878-4 with thee. |
| 23 |
For the commandment 4687 [is] a lamp; 5216 and the law 8451 [is] light; 216 and reproofs 8433 of instruction 4148 [are] the way 1870 of life: 2416 |
| 24 |
To keep 8104-2 thee from the evil 7451 woman, 802 from the flattery 2513 of the tongue 3956 of a strange 5237 woman. |
| 25 |
Lust 2530-4 not after her beauty 3308 in thine heart; 3824 neither let her take 3947-4 thee with her eyelids. 6079 |
| 26 |
For by means of 1157 a whorish 2181-6 woman 802 [a man is brought] to a piece 3603 of bread: 3899 and the adulteress 802 376 will hunt 6679-4 for the precious 3368 life. 5315 |
| 27 |
Can a man 376 take 2846-4 fire 784 in his bosom, 2436 and his clothes 899 not be burned? 8313-11 |
| 28 |
Can one 376 go 1980-17 upon hot coals, 1513 and his feet 7272 not be burned? 3554-11 |
| 29 |
So he that goeth in 935-6 to his neighbour's 7453 wife; 802 whosoever toucheth 5060-6 her shall not be innocent. 5352-11 |
| 30 |
[Men] do not despise 936-4 a thief, 1590 if he steal 1589-4 to satisfy 4390-15 his soul 5315 when he is hungry; 7456-4 |
| 31 |
But [if] he be found, 4672-8 he shall restore 7999-17 sevenfold; 7659 he shall give 5414-4 all the substance 1952 of his house. 1004 |
| 32 |
[But] whoso committeth adultery 5003-6 with a woman 802 lacketh 2638 understanding: 3820 he [that] doeth 6213-4 it destroyeth 7843-56 his own soul. 5315 |
| 33 |
A wound 5061 and dishonour 7036 shall he get; 4672-4 and his reproach 2781 shall not be wiped away. 4229-11 |
| 34 |
For jealousy 7068 [is] the rage 2534 of a man: 1397 therefore he will not spare 2550-4 in the day 3117 of vengeance. 5359 |
| 35 |
He will not regard 5375-4 6440 any ransom; 3724 neither will he rest content, 14-4 though thou givest many 7235-55 gifts. 7810 |
