5Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:
7Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,
8Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?
10Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:
11And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.
12A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,
13He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.
14With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.
15To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.
16Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:
17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,
19A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.
20My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
21Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.
22When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.
23Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
