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?
