# Proverbs 6 (New King James Version)
Dangerous Promises
##### Chapter 6
###### 1 My son, if you become surety for your friend,
_If_ you have shaken hands in pledge for a stranger,
###### 2 You are snared by the words of your mouth;
You are taken by the words of your mouth.
###### 3 So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
###### 4 Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.
###### 5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand _of the hunter,_
And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.The Folly of Indolence
###### 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
###### 7 Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
###### 8 Provides her supplies in the summer,
_And_ gathers her food in the harvest.
###### 9 How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
###### 10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep--
###### 11 So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.The Wicked Man
###### 12 A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
###### 13 He winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
###### 14 Perversity _is_ in his heart,
He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.
###### 15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;
Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
###### 16 These six _things_ the Lord hates,
Yes, seven _are_ an abomination to Him:
###### 17 A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
###### 18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
###### 19 A false witness _who_ speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.Beware of Adultery
###### 20 My son, keep your father's command,
And do not forsake the law of your mother.
###### 21 Bind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
###### 22 When you roam, they will lead you;
When you sleep, they will keep you;
And _when_ you awake, they will speak with you.
###### 23 For the commandment _is_ a lamp,
And the law a light;
Reproofs of instruction _are_ the way of life,
###### 24 To keep you from the evil woman,
From the flattering tongue of a seductress.
###### 25 Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids.
###### 26 For by means of a harlot
_A man is reduced_ to a crust of bread;
And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
###### 27 Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
###### 28 Can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be seared?
###### 29 So _is_ he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;
Whoever touches her shall not be innocent.
###### 30 _People_ do not despise a thief
If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
###### 31 Yet _when_ he is found, he must restore sevenfold;
He may have to give up all the substance of his house.
###### 32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding;
He _who_ does so destroys his own soul.
###### 33 Wounds and dishonor he will get,
And his reproach will not be wiped away.
###### 34 For jealousy _is_ a husband's fury;
Therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
###### 35 He will accept no recompense,
Nor will he be appeased though you give many gifts.
