5Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
7Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8Provideth her meat in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
11So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, And thy want as an armed man.
12A naughty person, a wicked man, Walketh with a froward mouth.
13He winketh with his eyes, He speaketh with his feet, He teacheth with his fingers;
14Frowardness is in his heart, He deviseth mischief continually; He soweth discord.
15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; Suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16These six things doth the Lord hate: Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17A proud look, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
18A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, Feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19A false witness that speaketh lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
20My son, keep thy father’s commandment, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
