6Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7Which having no chief, 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 a robber, and thy want as an armed man.
12A worthless person, a man of iniquity; he walketh with a froward mouth;
13He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he maketh signs with his fingers;
14Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth evil continually; he soweth discord.
15Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; on a sudden shall he be broken and that without remedy.
16There be 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;
18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief;
19A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
20My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.
22When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger’s tongue.
25Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26For on account of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28Or can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
29So he that goeth in to his nieghbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
30Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry:
