Proverbs 6:12-26

¹²The vnthriftie man and the wicked man walketh with a froward mouth.

¹³He maketh a signe with his eyes: he signifieth with his feete: he instructeth with his fingers.

¹⁴Lewde things are in his heart: he imagineth euill at all times, and raiseth vp contentions.

¹⁵Therefore shall his destruction come speedily: hee shall be destroyed suddenly without recouerie.

¹⁶These sixe things doeth the Lord hate: yea, his soule abhorreth seuen:

¹⁷The hautie eyes, a lying tongue, and the hands that shed innocent blood,

¹⁸An heart that imagineth wicked enterprises, feete that be swift in running to mischiefe,

¹⁹A false witnesse that speaketh lyes, and him that rayseth vp contentions among brethren.

²⁰My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not thy mothers instruction.

²¹Binde them alway vpon thine heart, and tye them about thy necke.

²²It shall leade thee, when thou walkest: it shall watch for thee, when thou sleepest, and when thou wakest, it shall talke with thee.

²³For the commandement is a lanterne, and instruction a light: and corrections for instruction are the way of life,

²⁴To keepe thee from the wicked woman, and from ye flatterie of ye tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Desire not her beautie in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids.

²⁶For because of the whorish woman a man is brought to a morsell of bread, and a woman wil hunt for the precious life of a man.
