1My son , if you have become collateral for your neighbour ,
if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger ,
2you are trapped by the words of your mouth ;
you are ensnared with the words of your mouth .
3Do this now , my son , and deliver yourself ,
since you have come into the hand of your neighbour .
Go , humble yourself .
Press your plea with your neighbour .
4Give no sleep to your eyes ,
nor slumber to your eyelids .
5Free yourself , like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler .
6Go to the ant , you sluggard .
Consider her ways , and be wise ;
7which having no chief , overseer , or ruler ,
8provides her bread in the summer ,
and gathers her food in the harvest .
9How long will you sleep , sluggard ?
When will you arise out of your sleep ?
10A little sleep , a little slumber ,
a little folding of the hands to sleep —
11so your poverty will come as a robber ,
and your scarcity as an armed man.
12A worthless person , a man of iniquity,
is he who walks with a perverse mouth ,
13who winks with his eyes , who signals with his feet ,
who motions with his fingers,
14in whose heart is perverseness,
who devises evil continually ,
who always sows discord .
15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly .
He will be broken suddenly , and that without remedy .
16There are six things which the LORD hates ;
yes, seven which are an abomination to him :
17arrogant eyes , a lying tongue ,
hands that shed innocent blood ,
18a heart that devises wicked schemes ,
feet that are swift in running to mischief ,
19a false witness who utters lies ,
and he who sows discord amongst brothers.
20My son , keep your father ’s commandment ,
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching .
21Bind them continually on your heart .
Tie them around your neck .
22When you walk , it will lead you .
When you sleep , it will watch over you .
When you awake , it will talk with you .
23For the commandment is a lamp ,
and the law is light .
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life ,
24to keep you from the immoral woman ,
from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue .
25Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart ,
neither let her captivate you with her eyelids .
26For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread .
The adulteress hunts for your precious life .
27Can a man scoop fire into his lap ,
and his clothes not be burnt ?
28Or can one walk on hot coals ,
and his feet not be scorched ?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbour ’s wife.
Whoever touches her will not be unpunished .
30Men don’t despise a thief
if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry ,
31but if he is found , he shall restore seven times .
He shall give all the wealth of his house .
32He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding .
He who does it destroys his own soul .
33He will get wounds and dishonour .
His reproach will not be wiped away .
34For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband.
He won’t spare in the day of vengeance .
35He won’t regard any ransom ,
neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts .
