Proverbs 6:16-27

¹⁶There are 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;

¹⁸A heart that deviseth wicked thoughts, feet that are swift in running to evil;

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

²⁰My son, keep the commandment of thy father, 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 liest down, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

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

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the alien tongue.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; neither let her captivate thee with her eyelids.

²⁶For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a loaf of bread, but the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

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