Proverbs 6:1-19 (KJV) | TrulyRandomVerse

1

¶ My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

2

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

4

Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

5

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6

¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8

Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

10

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

11

So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

12

¶ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

13

He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

14

Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

15

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

16

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17

A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18

An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19

A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
