Proverbs 6

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

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

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.
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.
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.
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.
