There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:

Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.

Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,

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

How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

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

winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger,

a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,

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

My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,

Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?

with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;

haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,

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

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

Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.

if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,

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.

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.

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

People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,

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

Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.

My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching.

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

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.

For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.

but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.

He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.

He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
