1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor or entered into an agreement with a stranger,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2you have been snared by the words of your mouth trapped by the words from your mouth.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Do this, then, my son, and free yourself, for you have put yourself in your neighbor's power: Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Don't give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Escape like a gazelle from a hunter, like a bird from a hunter's trap.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Without leader, administrator, or ruler,
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9How long will you stay in bed, you slacker? When will you get up from your sleep?
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12A worthless person, a wicked man goes around speaking dishonestly,
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13winking his eyes, signaling with his feet, and gesturing with his fingers.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14He always plots evil with perversity in his heart; he stirs up trouble.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly; he will be shattered instantly, beyond recovery.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16The LORD hates six things; in fact, seven are detestable to him:
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil,
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20My son, keep your father's command, and don't reject your mother's teaching.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Always bind them to your heart; tie them around your neck.
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22When you walk here and there, they will guide you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; when you wake up, they will talk to you.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23For a command is a lamp, teaching is a light, and corrective discipline is the way to life.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24They will protect you from an evil woman, from the flattering tongue of a wayward woman.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25Don't lust in your heart for her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyelashes.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26For a prostitute's fee is only a loaf of bread, but the wife of another man goes after a precious life.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27Can a man embrace fire and his clothes not be burned?
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28Can a man walk on burning coals without scorching his feet?
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29So it is with the one who sleeps with another man's wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30People don't despise the thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Still, if caught, he must pay seven times as much; he must give up all the wealth in his house.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32The one who commits adultery lacks sense; whoever does so destroys himself.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33He will get a beating and dishonor, and his disgrace will never be removed.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35He will not be appeased by anything or be persuaded by lavish bribes.
