Part 6

20:005:022 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

20:005:023 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

20:006:001 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

20:006:002 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

20:006:003 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.

20:006:004 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

20:006:005 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

20:006:006 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

20:006:007 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

20:006:008 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

20:006:009 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

20:006:010 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

20:006:011 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

20:006:012 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

20:006:013 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

20:006:014 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

20:006:015 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

20:006:016 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

20:006:017 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

20:006:018 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

20:006:019 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

20:006:020 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

20:006:021 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

20:006:022 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

20:006:023 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

20:006:024 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

20:006:025 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

20:006:026 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.
