6:3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, for you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands: Go, humble yourself, and press your plea with your neighbor.

6:4 Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.

6:5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

6:6 Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.

6:7 Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,

6:8 it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.

6:9 How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?

6:10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

6:11 and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.

6:12 A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,

6:13 winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.

6:14 With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.

6:15 Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.

6:16 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:

6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

6:18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,

6:19 a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.

6:20 My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

6:21 Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.

6:22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

6:23 For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,

6:24 to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

6:25 Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.

6:26 For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

6:27 Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?

6:28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?

6:29 So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.

6:30 Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.

6:31 Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.

6:32 He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.

6:33 Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.

6:34 For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.

6:35 He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
