Proverbs 6:10-20

¹⁰A little thou shalt sleep, a little thou shalt nap; (and) a little thou shalt join together thine hands that thou sleep (again).

¹¹And then neediness, as a waygoer, shall come to thee; and poverty, as an armed man. Forsooth if thou art not slow (or But if thou art not lazy), thy ripe corn shall come as a well; and neediness shall flee far from thee.

¹²A man apostate, is a man unprofitable, he goeth with a wayward mouth;

¹³he beckoneth with (the) eyes, he trampeth with the foot, he speaketh with the finger,

¹⁴by shrewd heart he imagineth evil, and in all time he soweth dissensions. (with a depraved heart he imagineth all kinds of evil, and at all times he soweth discord.)

¹⁵His perdition shall come to him anon, and he shall be broken suddenly; and he shall no more have medicine. (His perdition shall come upon him at once, and suddenly he shall be broken; and then he shall be without any remedy.)

¹⁶Six things there be, which the Lord hateth; and his soul curseth the seventh thing.

¹⁷High eyes, a tongue liar, that is, accustomable to deadly leasing, (or a lying tongue, that is, one accustomed to deadly lies), hands shedding out innocent blood,

¹⁸an heart imagining full wicked thoughts, feet swift to run into evil (or feet quick to run to evil),

¹⁹a man bringing forth leasing, a false witness; and him that soweth discord among brethren. (a liar, that is, a false witness; and he who soweth discord among brothers, or among friends.)

²⁰My son, keep the commandments of thy father; and forsake thou not the law of thy mother. (My son, obey thy father’s commands; and do not thou abandon thy mother’s instructions.)
