Proverbs 6:14-34

¹⁴deceits are in his heart; he deviseth mischief at all times, he soweth discords.

¹⁵Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly: in a moment shall he be broken, and without remedy.

¹⁶These six things doth Jehovah hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

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

¹⁸a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief;

¹⁹a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.

²⁰My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother;

²¹bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck:

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

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

²⁴to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids;

²⁶for by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a loaf of bread, and another's wife doth hunt for the precious soul.

²⁷Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his garments not be burned?

²⁸Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?

²⁹So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife: whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

³⁰They do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry:

³¹and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

³²Whoso committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

³³A wound and contempt shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

³⁴For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance;
