Here are six things that the LORD hates seven, in fact, are detestable to him:

Go to the ant, you lazy man! Observe its ways and become wise.

It has no commander, officer, or ruler,

but prepares its provisions in the summer and gathers its food in the harvest.

How long will you lie down, lazy man? When will you get up from your sleep?

and your poverty will come on you like a bandit and your desperation like an armed man.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

winking with his eyes, making signs with his feet, pointing with his fingers,

a false witness snorting lies, and someone sowing quarrels between brothers.

A worthless man, a wicked man, goes around with devious speech,

Therefore, disaster will overtake him suddenly. He will be broken in an instant, and he will never recover.

My son, if you guarantee a loan for your neighbor, if you have agreed to a deal with a stranger,

Can a man scoop fire into his bosom without burning his clothes?

planning evil with a perverse mind, continually stirring up discord.

Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands shedding innocent blood;

a heart crafting evil plans, feet running swiftly to wickedness,

Do not focus on her beauty in your mind, nor allow her to take you prisoner with her flirting eyes,

to protect you from the evil woman, from the words of the seductive woman.

by binding them to your heart continuously, fastening them around your neck.

trapped by your own words, and caught by your own words,

During your travels wisdom will lead you; she will watch over you while you rest; and when you are startled from your sleep, she will commune with you.

then do this, my son, and deliver yourself, because you have come under your neighbor's control. Go, humble yourself! Plead passionately with your neighbor!

because the price of a whore is a loaf of bread, and an adulterous woman stalks a man's precious life.

A thief isn't despised if he steals to meet his needs when he is hungry,

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a hunter's hand, or like a bird from a fowler's hand.

Don't allow yourself to sleep or even to close your eyes.

Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

So also is it with someone who has sex with his neighbor's wife; anyone touching her will not remain unpunished.

Keep your father's commands, my son, and never forsake your mother's rules,

Because the command is a lamp and the Law a light, rebukes that discipline are a way of life

Whoever commits adultery with a woman is out of his mind; by doing so he corrupts his own soul.

because jealousy incites a strong man's rage, and he will show no mercy when it's time for revenge.

but when he is discovered, he must restore seven-fold, forfeiting the entire value of his house.

He will receive a beating and dishonor, and his shame won't disappear,

He will not consider any payment, nor will he be willing to accept it, no matter how large the bribe.
