1 -My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, if you have struck hands in pledge with a stranger,
2 -if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,
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.
4 -Allow no sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
5 -Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 -Walk in the manner of the ant, O slacker; observe its ways and become wise.
7 -Without a commander, without an overseer or ruler,
8 -it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food at harvest.
9 -How long will you lie there, O slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 -A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
11 -and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
12 -A worthless person, a wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth,
13 -winking his eyes, speaking with his feet, and pointing with his fingers.
14 -With deceit in his heart he devises evil; he continually sows discord.
15 -Therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered beyond recovery.
16 -There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:
17 -haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18 -a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
19 -a false witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up discord among brothers.
20 -My son, keep your father’s commandment, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
21 -Bind them always upon your heart; tie them around your neck.
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.
23 -For this commandment is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
24 -to keep you from the evil woman, from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25 -Do not lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
26 -For the levy of the prostitute is poverty, and the adulteress preys upon your very life.
27 -Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
28 -Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
29 -So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30 -Men do not despise the thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger.
31 -Yet if caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give up all the wealth of his house.
32 -He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
33 -Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
34 -For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance.
35 -He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.
