Chapter 6
Prov YLT 6:1  My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,
Prov YLT 6:2  Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,
Prov YLT 6:3  Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
Prov YLT 6:4  Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,
Prov YLT 6:5  Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
Prov YLT 6:6  Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
Prov YLT 6:8  She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
Prov YLT 6:9  Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
Prov YLT 6:10  A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
Prov YLT 6:11  And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
Prov YLT 6:12  A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth,
Prov YLT 6:13  Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,
Prov YLT 6:14  Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
Prov YLT 6:15  Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken--and no healing.
Prov YLT 6:16  These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven are abominations to His soul.
Prov YLT 6:17  Eyes high--tongues false--And hands shedding innocent blood--
Prov YLT 6:18  A heart devising thoughts of vanity--Feet hasting to run to evil--
Prov YLT 6:19  A false witness who doth breathe out lies--And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
Prov YLT 6:20  Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.
Prov YLT 6:21  Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.
Prov YLT 6:22  In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked--it talketh with thee.
Prov YLT 6:23  For a lamp is the command, And the law a light, And a way of life are reproofs of instruction,
Prov YLT 6:24  To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Prov YLT 6:25  Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.
Prov YLT 6:26  For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
Prov YLT 6:27  Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
Prov YLT 6:28  Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
Prov YLT 6:29  So is he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
Prov YLT 6:30  They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,
Prov YLT 6:31  And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
Prov YLT 6:32  He who committeth adultery with a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
Prov YLT 6:33  A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
Prov YLT 6:34  For jealousy is the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
Prov YLT 6:35  He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
