There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;

which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,

provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.

How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?

so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.

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

who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers;

a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth;

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.

My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger;

Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?

in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

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

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.

to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.

Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.

You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth.

When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.

Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.

For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.

Men don't despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

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

Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.

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

So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.

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

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.

For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won't spare in the day of vengeance.

but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.

He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.

He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
