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

- בני אם־ערבת לרעך תקעת לזר כפיך׃
- נוקשת באמרי־פיך נלכדת באמרי־פיך׃
- עשה זאת אפוא בני והנצל כי באת בכף־רעך לך התרפס ורהב רעיך׃
- אל־תתן שנה לעיניך ותנומה לעפעפיך׃
- הנצל כצבי מיד וכצפור מיד יקוש׃ ף
- לך־אל־נמלה עצל ראה דרכיה וחכם׃
- אשר אין־לה קצין שטר ומשל׃
- תכין בקיץ לחמה אגרה בקציר מאכלה׃
- עד־מתי עצל תשכב מתי תקום משנתך׃
- מעט שנות מעט תנומות מעט חבק ידים לשכב׃
- ובא־כמהלך ראשך ומחסרך כאיש מגן׃ ף
- אדם בליעל איש און הולך עקשות פה׃
- קרץ בעיניוק מלל ברגלוק מרה באצבעתיו׃
- תהפכות בלבו חרש רע בכל־עת ישלח׃
- על־כן פתאם יבוא אידו פתע ישבר ואין מרפא׃ ף
- שש־הנה שנא יהוה ושבע נפשו׃
- עינים רמות לשון שקר וידים שפכות דם־נקי׃
- לב חרש מחשבות און רגלים ממהרות לרוץ לרעה׃
- יפיח כזבים עד שקר ומשלח מדנים בין אחים׃ ף
- נצר בני מצות אביך ואל־תטש תורת אמך׃
- קשרם על־לבך תמיד ענדם על־גרגרתך׃
- בהתהלככ תנחה אתך בשכבך תשמר עליך והקיצות היא תשיחך׃
- כי נר מצוה ותורה אור ודרך חיים תוכחות מוסר׃
- לשמרך מאשת רע מחלקת לשון נכריה׃
- אל־תחמד יפיה בלבבך ואל־תקחך בעפעפיה׃
- כי בעד־אשה זונה עד־ככר לחם ואשת איש נפש יקרה תצוד׃ ף
- היחתה איש אש בחיקו ובגדיו לא תשרפנה׃
- אם־יהלך איש על־הגחלים ורגליו לא תכוינה׃
- כן הבא אל־אשת רעהו לא ינקה כל־הנגע בה׃
- לא־יבוזו לגנב כי יגנוב למלא נפשו כי ירעב׃
- ונמצא ישלם שבעתים את־כל־הון ביתו יתן׃
- נאף אשה חסר־לב משחית נפשו הוא יעשנה׃
- נגע־וקלון ימצא וחרפתו לא תמחה׃
- כי־קנאה חמת־גבר ולא־יחמול ביום נקם׃
- לא־ישא פני כל־כפר ולא־יאבה כי תרבה־שחד׃ ף

| Proverbs 6 Text (Latin)
|
- Fili mi, si spoponderis pro amico tuo, defixisti apud extraneum manum tuam ;
- illaqueatus es verbis oris tui, et captus propriis sermonibus.
- Fac ergo quod dico, fili mi, et temetipsum libera, quia incidisti in manum proximi tui. Discurre, festina, suscita amicum tuum.
- Ne dederis somnum oculis tuis, nec dormitent palpebræ tuæ.
- Eruere quasi damula de manu, et quasi avis de manu aucupis.
- Vade ad formicam, o piger, et considera vias ejus, et disce sapientiam.
- Quæ cum non habeat ducem, nec præceptorem, nec principem,
- parat in æstate cibum sibi, et congregat in messe quod comedat.
- Usquequo, piger, dormies ? quando consurges e somno tuo ?
- Paululum dormies, paululum dormitabis, paululum conseres manus ut dormias ;
- et veniet tibi quasi viator egestas, et pauperies quasi vir armatus. Si vero impiger fueris, veniet ut fons messis tua, et egestas longe fugiet a te.
- Homo apostata vir inutilis, graditur ore perverso ;
- annuit oculis, terit pede, digito loquitur,
- pravo corde machinatur malum, et omni tempore jurgia seminat.
- Huic extemplo veniet perditio sua, et subito conteretur, nec habebit ultra medicinam.
- Sex sunt dies quæ odit Dominus, et septimum detestatur anima ejus :
- oculos sublimes, linguam mendacem, manus effundentes innoxium sanguinem,
- cor machinans cogitationes pessimas, pedes veloces ad currendum in malum,
- proferentem mendacia testem fallacem, et eum qui seminat inter fratres discordias.
- Conserva, fili mi, præcepta patris tui, et ne dimittas legem matris tuæ.
- Liga ea in corde tuo jugiter, et circumda gutturi tuo.
- Cum ambulaveris, gradiantur tecum ; cum dormieris, custodiant te : et evigilans loquere cum eis.
- Quia mandatum lucerna est, et lex lux, et via vitæ increpatio disciplinæ ;
- ut custodiant te a muliere mala, et a blanda lingua extraneæ.
- Non concupiscat pulchritudinem ejus cor tuum, nec capiaris nutibus illius :
- pretium enim scorti vix est unius panis, mulier autem viri pretiosam animam capit.
- Numquid potest homo abscondere ignem in sinu suo, ut vestimenta illius non ardeant ?
- aut ambulare super prunas, ut non comburantur plantæ ejus ?
- Sic qui ingreditur ad mulierem proximi sui, non erit mundus cum tetigerit eam.
- Non grandis est culpa cum quis furatus fuerit, furatur enim ut esurientem impleat animam ;
- deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum, et omnem substantiam domus suæ tradet.
- Qui autem adulter est, propter cordis inopiam perdet animam suam ;
- turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi, et opprobrium illius non delebitur :
- quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictæ ;
- nec acquiescet cujusquam precibus, nec suscipiet pro redemptione dona plurima.

| Proverbs 6 Text (KJV)
|
- My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
- Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
- Do this now, my son, deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
- Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
- Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
- Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
- Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
- Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
- How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
- Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
- So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
- A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
- He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
- Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
- Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
- These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
- A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
- An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
- A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
- My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
- Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
- When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
- For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
- To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
- Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
- For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
- Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
- Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
- So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
- Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
- But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
- But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
- A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
- For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
- He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
