PROVERBS 6:12-26

¹²A worthless person, a man of iniquity; he walketh with a froward mouth;

¹³He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he maketh signs with his fingers;

¹⁴Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord.

¹⁵Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken and that without remedy.

¹⁶There be six things which the LORD hateth; yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;

¹⁸An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief;

¹⁹A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

²⁰My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

²¹Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.

²²When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

²³For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger’s tongue.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For on account of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
