Compare: Proverbs 6

ASV

My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;

ASV

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

ASV

Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

ASV

Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;

ASV

Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

ASV

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

ASV

Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,

ASV

Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

ASV

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

ASV

[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

ASV

So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.

ASV

A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;

ASV

That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;

ASV

In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

ASV

Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

ASV

There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

ASV

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

ASV

A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

ASV

A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

ASV

My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

ASV

Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.

ASV

When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

ASV

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

ASV

To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner’s tongue.

ASV

Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

ASV

For on account of a harlot [a man is brought] to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

ASV

Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

ASV

Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?

ASV

So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.

ASV

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:

ASV

But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house.

ASV

He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

ASV

Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

ASV

For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

ASV

He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
