The Darby Online Bible (DBY) |
Proverbs 6:1 | My son, if thou hast become surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger, |
Proverbs 6:2 | thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. |
Proverbs 6:3 | Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou hast come into the hand of thy friend: go, humble thyself, and be urgent with thy friend. |
Proverbs 6:4 | Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids: |
Proverbs 6:5 | deliver thyself as a gazelle from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
Proverbs 6:6 | Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways and be wise: |
Proverbs 6:7 | which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, |
Proverbs 6:8 | provideth her bread in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest. |
Proverbs 6:9 | How long, sluggard, wilt thou lie down? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
Proverbs 6:10 | A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest! |
Proverbs 6:11 | So shall thy poverty come as a roving plunderer, and thy penury as an armed man. |
Proverbs 6:12 | A man of Belial, a wicked person, is he that goeth about with a perverse mouth; |
Proverbs 6:13 | he winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; |
Proverbs 6:14 | deceits are in his heart; he deviseth mischief at all times, he soweth discords. |
Proverbs 6:15 | Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly: in a moment shall he be broken, and without remedy. |
Proverbs 6:16 | These six [things] doth Jehovah hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him: |
Proverbs 6:17 | haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood; |
Proverbs 6:18 | a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief; |
Proverbs 6:19 | a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren. |
Proverbs 6:20 | My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching of thy mother; |
Proverbs 6:21 | bind them continually upon thy heart, tie them about thy neck: |
Proverbs 6:22 | when thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. |
Proverbs 6:23 | For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: |
Proverbs 6:24 | to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. |
Proverbs 6:25 | Lust not after her beauty in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eyelids; |

Proverbs 6:29 | So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife: whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. |
Proverbs 6:30 | They do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry: |
Proverbs 6:31 | and if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. |
Proverbs 6:32 | Whoso committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. |
Proverbs 6:33 | A wound and contempt shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. |
Proverbs 6:34 | For jealousy is the rage of a man, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance; |
Proverbs 6:35 | he will not regard any ransom, neither will he rest content though thou multipliest [thy] gifts. |
