Proverbs 6

Verses of Proverbs 6 of the ASV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - My son, if thou art become surety for thy neighbor, If thou hast stricken thy hands for a stranger;
2 - Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 - Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;
4 - Give not sleep to thine eyes, Nor slumber to thine eyelids;
5 - Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand `of the hunter', And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6 - Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:
7 - Which having no chief, Overseer, or ruler,
8 - Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 - How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 - `Yet' a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 - So shall thy poverty come as a robber, And thy want as an armed man.
12 - A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;
13 - That winketh with his eyes, that speaketh with his feet, That maketh signs with his fingers;
14 - In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.
15 - Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.
16 - There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
17 - Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
18 - A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19 - A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
20 - My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 - Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
22 - When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 - For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
24 - To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.
25 - Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 - For on account of a harlot `a man is brought' to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27 - Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28 - Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
29 - So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.
30 - Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:
31 - But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house.
32 - He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.
33 - Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 - For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 - He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
