Proverbs 6:15-29

¹⁵His perdition shall come to him anon, and he shall be broken suddenly; and he shall no more have medicine.

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, hands shedding out innocent blood,

¹⁸an heart imagining full wicked thoughts, feet swift to run into evil,

¹⁹a man bringing forth leasing, a false witness; and him that soweth discord among brethren.

²⁰My son, keep the commandments of thy father; and forsake thou not the law of thy mother.

²¹Bind thou those continually in thine heart; and encompass to thy throat.

²²When thou goest, go they with thee; when thou sleepest, keep they thee; and thou waking, speak with them.

²³For the commandment of God is a lantern, and the law is light, and the blaming of teaching is the way of life;

²⁴that they keep thee from an evil woman, and from a flattering tongue of a strange woman.

²⁵Thine heart covet not the fairness of her; neither be thou taken by the beckonings of her.

²⁶For the price of a whore is scarcely a gobbet of bread; but such a woman taketh the precious soul of a man.

²⁷Whether a man may hide fire in his bosom, that his clothes burn not;

²⁸either go on coals, and his feet be not burnt?

²⁹So he that entereth to the wife of his neighbour; shall not be clean, when he hath touched her.
