1 My son 1121, if thou be surety 6148 for thy friend 7453, if thou hast stricken 8628 thy hand 3709 with a stranger 2114,
2 Thou art snared 3369 with the words 561 of thy mouth 6310, thou art taken 3920 with the words 561 of thy mouth 6310.
3 Do 6213 this now 645, my son 1121, and deliver 5337 thyself, when thou art come 935 into the hand 3709 of thy friend 7453; go 3212, humble 7511 thyself, and make sure 7292 thy friend 7453.
4 Give 5414 not sleep 8142 to thine eyes 5869, nor slumber 8572 to thine eyelids 6079.
5 Deliver 5337 thyself as a roe 6643 from the hand 3027 of the hunter, and as a bird 6833 from the hand 3027 of the fowler 3353.
6 Go 3212 to the ant 5244, thou sluggard 6102; consider 7200 her ways 1870, and be wise 2449:
7 Which having no guide 7101, overseer 7860, or ruler 4910,
8 Provideth 3559 her meat 3899 in the summer 7019, and gathereth 103 her food 3978 in the harvest 7105.
9 How long wilt thou sleep 7901, O sluggard 6102? when wilt thou arise 6965 out of thy sleep 8142?
10 Yet a little 4592 sleep 8142, a little 4592 slumber 8572, a little 4592 folding 2264 of the hands 3027 to sleep 7901:
11 So shall thy poverty 7389 come 935 as one that travelleth 1980, and thy want 4270 as an armed 4043 man 376.
12 A naughty 1100 person 120, a wicked 205 man 376, walketh 1980 with a froward 6143 mouth 6310.
13 He winketh 7169 with his eyes 5869, he speaketh 4448 with his feet 7272, he teacheth 3384 with his fingers 676;
14 Frowardness 8419 is in his heart 3820, he deviseth 2790 mischief 7451 continually 6256; he soweth 7971 discord 4066 4090.
15 Therefore shall his calamity 343 come 935 suddenly 6597; suddenly 6621 shall he be broken 7665 without remedy 4832.
16 These six 8337 things doth the LORD 3068 hate 8130: yea, seven 7651 are an abomination 8441 unto him 5315:
17 A proud 7311 look 5869, a lying 8267 tongue 3956, and hands 3027 that shed 8210 innocent 5355 blood 1818,
18 An heart 3820 that deviseth 2790 wicked 205 imaginations 4284, feet 7272 that be swift 4116 in running 7323 to mischief 7451,
19 A false 8267 witness 5707 that speaketh 6315 lies 3577, and he that soweth 7971 discord 4090 among brethren 251.
20 My son 1121, keep 5341 thy father's 1 commandment 4687, and forsake 5203 not the law 8451 of thy mother 517:
21 Bind 7194 them continually 8548 upon thine heart 3820, and tie 6029 them about thy neck 1621.
22 When thou goest 1980, it shall lead 5148 thee; when thou sleepest 7901, it shall keep 8104 thee; and when thou awakest 6974, it shall talk 7878 with thee.
23 For the commandment 4687 is a lamp 5216; and the law 8451 is light 216; and reproofs 8433 of instruction 4148 are the way 1870 of life 2416:
24 To keep 8104 thee from the evil 7451 woman 802, from the flattery 2513 of the tongue 3956 of a strange woman 5237.
25 Lust 2530 not after her beauty 3308 in thine heart 3824; neither let her take 3947 thee with her eyelids 6079.
26 For by means of 1157 a whorish 2181 woman 802 a man is brought to a piece 3603 of bread 3899: and the adulteress 802 376 will hunt 6679 for the precious 3368 life 5315.
27 Can a man 376 take 2846 fire 784 in his bosom 2436, and his clothes 899 not be burned 8313?
28 Can one 376 go 1980 upon hot coals 1513, and his feet 7272 not be burned 3554?
29 So he that goeth in 935 to his neighbour's 7453 wife 802; whosoever toucheth 5060 her shall not be innocent 5352.
30 Men do not despise 936 a thief 1590, if he steal 1589 to satisfy 4390 his soul 5315 when he is hungry 7456;
31 But if he be found 4672, he shall restore 7999 sevenfold 7659; he shall give 5414 all the substance 1952 of his house 1004.
32 But whoso committeth adultery 5003 with a woman 802 lacketh 2638 understanding 3820: he that doeth 6213 it destroyeth 7843 his own soul 5315.
33 A wound 5061 and dishonour 7036 shall he get 4672; and his reproach 2781 shall not be wiped away 4229.
34 For jealousy 7068 is the rage 2534 of a man 1397: therefore he will not spare 2550 in the day 3117 of vengeance 5359.
35 He will not regard 5375 6440 any ransom 3724; neither will he rest content 14, though thou givest many 7235 gifts 7810.
