and of thy neighbour. Run about, make haste,
stir up thy friend:

6:4. Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.

6:5. Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand
of the fowler.

6:6. Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:

6:7. Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,

6:8. Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her
food in the harvest.

6:9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of
thy sleep?

6:10. Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt
fold thy hands a little to sleep:

6:11. And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a
man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a
fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.

6:12. A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a
perverse mouth,

6:13. He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with
the finger.

6:14. With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth
discord.

6:15. To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall
suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.

6:16. Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his
soul detesteth:

6:17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

6:18. A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run
into mischief,

6:19. A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth
discord among brethren.

6:20. My son, keep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the
law of thy mother.

6:21. Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.

6:22. When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let
them keep thee, and when thou awakest, talk with them.

6:23. Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and
reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

6:24. That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the
flattering tongue of the stranger.

6:25. Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

6:26. For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman
catcheth the precious soul of a man.

6:27. Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?

6:28. Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?

6:29. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife, shall not be clean
when he
