Proverbs 6:11-32

Proverbs 6:11-32

[11] So shall thy poverty  come  as one that travelleth,  and thy want  as an armed  man.  [12] A naughty  person,  a wicked  man,  walketh  with a froward  mouth.  [13] He winketh  with his eyes,  he speaketh  with his feet,  he teacheth  with his fingers;  [14] Frowardness  is in his heart,  he deviseth  mischief  continually;  he soweth  discord.  [15] Therefore shall his calamity  come  suddenly;  suddenly  shall he be broken  without remedy.  [16] These six  things doth the LORD  hate:  yea, seven  are an abomination  unto him:  [17] A proud  look,  a lying  tongue,  and hands  that shed  innocent  blood,  [18] An heart  that deviseth  wicked  imaginations,  feet  that be swift  in running  to mischief,  [19] A false  witness  that speaketh  lies,  and he that soweth  discord  among brethren.  [20] My son,  keep  thy father's  commandment,  and forsake  not the law  of thy mother:  [21] Bind  them continually  upon thine heart,  and tie  them about thy neck.  [22] When thou goest,  it shall lead  thee; when thou sleepest,  it shall keep  thee; and when thou awakest,  it shall talk  [23] For the commandment  is a lamp;  and the law  is light;  and reproofs  of instruction  are the way  of life:  [24] To keep  thee from the evil  woman,  from the flattery  of the tongue  of a strange woman.  [25] Lust  not after her beauty  in thine heart;  neither let her take  thee with her eyelids.  [26] 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.  [27] Can a man  take  fire  in his bosom,  and his clothes  not be burned?  [28] Can one  go  upon hot coals,  and his feet  not be burned?  [29] So he that goeth in  to his neighbour's  wife;  whosoever toucheth  her shall not be innocent.  [30] Men do not despise  a thief,  if he steal  to satisfy  his soul  when he is hungry;  [31] But if he be found,  he shall restore  sevenfold;  he shall give  all the substance  of his house.  [32] But whoso committeth adultery  with a woman  lacketh  understanding:  he that doeth  it destroyeth  his own soul.
