Proverbs 6:1-19 — Warnings Against Folly
Prov.6.1-19
1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge for a stranger, 2if you have been snared by the words of your mouth, caught by the words of your mouth, 3then do this, my son, and free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor. 4Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5Free yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6Go to the ant, O sluggard; observe its ways and become wise. 7Though it has no commander, overseer, or ruler, 8it prepares its food in the summer, and gathers its provisions in the harvest. 9How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? 10“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down,” 11and your poverty will come like a robber, and your need like an armed man. 12A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth, 13who winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, and points with his fingers to convey deceitful signals, 14who harbors perversity in his heart, who devises evil at all times, and who continually sows discord. 15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; in an instant he will be broken, and there will be no remedy. 16There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: 17haughty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that hurry to run to evil, 19a false witness who breathes out lies , and one who sows discord among brothers.
