My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, Pro 17:18Pro 22:26Pro 11:15Pro 20:16Gen 43:9Gen 44:32-33Heb 7:22Job 17:3
if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,
you are trapped by the words of your mouth; Pro 18:7Pro 12:13
you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, Jas 4:102Sa 24:14Psa 31:82Ch 12:52Ch 36:12Exo 10:3
since you have come into the hand of your neighbor.
Go, humble yourself.
Press your plea with your neighbor.
Give no sleep to your eyes, Psa 132:4Pro 6:10-11Mrk 13:35-36Ecc 9:10Mat 24:17-18
nor slumber to your eyelids.
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, Psa 91:3Psa 124:7Pro 1:17Psa 11:1
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
Go to the ant, you sluggard. Pro 20:4Pro 18:9Pro 13:4Pro 6:9Heb 6:12Mat 25:26Pro 30:25Rom 12:11
Consider her ways, and be wise;
which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, Job 38:39Pro 30:27Job 39:26-30Job 41:4-34
provides her bread in the summer, Pro 10:51Ti 6:19Pro 30:25
and gathers her food in the harvest.
How long will you sleep, sluggard? Pro 24:33-34Psa 94:8Eph 5:14Jer 4:141Th 5:2-7Pro 1:22Rom 13:11Jhn 1:6
When will you arise out of your sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, Pro 24:33-34Pro 6:6Pro 23:33-34
a little folding of the hands to sleep—
so your poverty will come as a robber, Pro 13:4Pro 10:4Pro 20:4Pro 24:34
and your scarcity as an armed man.
A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Mat 12:341Ti 5:13Pro 16:27Pro 4:24Psa 52:2-4Psa 59:7Act 20:30Pro 17:4
is he who walks with a perverse mouth,
who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Psa 35:19Job 15:12Pro 10:10Pro 5:6
who motions with his fingers,
in whose heart is perverseness, Mic 2:1Rom 16:17Hos 8:7Pro 6:18-19Pro 2:14Pro 26:17-22Psa 36:4Ezk 11:2
who devises evil continually,
who always sows discord.
Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. 2Ch 36:16Jer 19:111Th 5:3Isa 30:13-14Pro 1:27Psa 73:18-20Pro 29:1Psa 50:22
He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
There are six things which the LORD hates; Psa 11:5Pro 8:13Pro 11:20Deu 25:16Pro 17:15Pro 3:32Pro 11:1Deu 24:4
yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, Psa 120:2-3Pro 12:22Isa 1:15Psa 101:5Psa 5:6Deu 27:25Isa 3:9Pro 21:4
hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked schemes, Gen 6:5Pro 1:16Jer 4:14Psa 36:4Rom 3:15Isa 59:7Zec 8:17Mic 2:1
feet that are swift in running to mischief,
a false witness who utters lies, Pro 19:5Pro 6:14Jas 3:18Pro 19:9Psa 27:12Deu 19:16-20Jas 3:14-16Pro 25:18
and he who sows discord among brothers.
My son, keep your father’s commandment, Eph 6:1Deu 27:16Pro 7:1-4Pro 1:8-9Pro 23:22Deu 21:18Pro 30:11
and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.
Bind them continually on your heart. Pro 3:3Pro 7:3-42Co 3:3Deu 6:8Exo 13:16Pro 4:6Pro 4:21
Tie them around your neck.
When you walk, it will lead you. Psa 119:11Pro 3:23-24Pro 2:11Psa 119:24Psa 119:97Psa 43:3Psa 119:148Psa 119:54
When you sleep, it will watch over you.
When you awake, it will talk with you.
For the commandment is a lamp, Psa 119:1052Pe 1:19Psa 19:8Pro 15:31Pro 4:13Pro 4:4Jer 21:8Pro 15:24
and the law is light.
Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
to keep you from the immoral woman, Ecc 7:26Pro 2:16Pro 5:3Pro 7:5
from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.
Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, Jas 1:14-15Mat 5:282Ki 9:302Sa 11:2-5Isa 3:16Sng 4:9
neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. Luk 15:30Pro 29:31Sa 2:36Gen 39:14Ezk 13:18Ezk 13:8Luk 15:13-15Pro 29:8
The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
Can a man scoop fire into his lap, Job 31:9-12Hos 7:4-7Jas 3:5
and his clothes not be burned?
Or can one walk on hot coals,
and his feet not be scorched?
So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. 1Co 7:12Sa 12:9-10Ezk 22:11Lev 20:10Mal 3:52Sa 11:3-42Sa 16:21Gen 12:18-19
Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
Men don’t despise a thief Job 38:39
if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry,
but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. Luk 19:82Sa 12:6Exo 22:1-4Job 20:18Mat 18:25
He shall give all the wealth of his house.
He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. Pro 7:7Heb 13:4Pro 7:22-23Rom 1:22-24Ecc 7:25-26Pro 2:18-19Exo 20:14Gen 39:9-10
He who does it destroys his own soul.
He will get wounds and dishonor. Pro 5:9-111Ki 15:5Gen 49:4Jdg 16:19-21Mat 1:6Neh 13:26Psa 38:1-8Psa 51:1
His reproach will not be wiped away.
For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. Num 5:14Pro 27:4Sng 8:61Co 10:22Jdg 19:29-30Num 25:11
He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.
He won’t regard any ransom, 2Ki 5:1Isa 2:9Mal 2:9Pro 4:3Pro 7:13Pro 8:25
neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
