Provérbios 6

1 My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor,

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth,

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself,

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes,

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard;

7 Which having no chief,

8 Provideth her bread in the summer,

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard?

11 So shall thy poverty come as a robber,

12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity,

13 That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet,

14 In whose heart is perverseness,

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly;

16 There are six things which Jehovah hateth;

17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,

18 A heart that deviseth wicked purposes,

19 A false witness that uttereth lies,

20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father,

21 Bind them continually upon thy heart;

22 When thou walkest, it shall lead thee;

23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light;

24 To keep thee from the evil woman,

25 Lust not after her beauty in thy heart;

26 For on account of a harlot

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom,

28 Or can one walk upon hot coals,

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbor’s wife;

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal

31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold;

32 He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding:

33 Wounds and dishonor shall he get;

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man;

35 He will not regard any ransom;
