Proverbs 6:6-19

Leeser(i) 6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; look on her ways, and become wise. 7 She, that hath no prince, officer, or ruler, 8 Provideth in the summer her provision, gathereth in harvest-time her food. 9 How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie down? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? 10 “A little more sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands in lying down;” 11 But then will thy poverty come like a rover, and thy want as a man armed with a shield. 12 A Godless person is a man of injustice, who walketh with a distorted mouth. 13 He blinketh with his eyes, he scrapeth with his feet, he pointeth with his fingers; 14 Perverseness is in his heart, he contriveth evil at all times; he scattereth abroad discord. 15 Therefore shall suddenly come his calamity: unawares shalt he be broken without a remedy. 16 Six things there are which the Lord hateth; and seven are an abomination unto his spirit: 17 Haughty eyes, a tongue of falsehood, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that contriveth plans of injustice, feet that hasten to run after evil, 19 A false witness that eagerly uttereth lies, and him that scattereth abroad discord among brethren.
