1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,
2 If you have been trapped by words of your mouth, Have been seized by sayings of your mouth,
3 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.
4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 It has no commander, officer, or ruler
8 but prepares its provisions in the summer and gathers its food in the harvest.
9 How long will you lie down, lazy man? When will you get up from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest!
11 and your poverty will come on you like a bandit and your desperation like an armed man.
12 A worthless human, a lawless man Is one who goes about with a perverse mouth,
13 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers,
14 planning evil with a perverse mind, continually stirring up discord.
15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
16 Here are six things that the LORD hates seven, in fact, are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
21 bind them upon your heart forever, tie them around your neck.
22 When you go, they will lead you; when you sleep they will watch over you and when you awake, they will talk to you.
23 For instruction is a lamp, and law is a light, And the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?
28 Can a man walk on hot coals without scorching his feet?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
30 Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
31 but if he is found, he must repay seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman lacks judgment and destroys himself.
33 A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproach shall never be wiped away.
34 because jealousy incites a strong man's rage, and he will show no mercy when it's time for revenge.
35 He will not accept any compensation, and he will not be willing, though the bribe is large.
