6:1
fili mi si spoponderis pro amico tuo defixisti apudextraneum manum tuam

6:2
inlaqueatus es verbis oris tui et captus propriis sermonibus

6:3
fac ergo quod dico fili mi et temet ipsum libera quiaincidisti in manu proximi tui discurre festina suscita amicumtuum

6:4
ne dederis somnum oculis tuis nec dormitent palpebrae tuae

6:5
eruere quasi dammula de manu et quasi avis de insidiisaucupis

6:6
vade ad formicam o piger et considera vias eius et discesapientiam

6:7
quae cum non habeat ducem nec praeceptorem nec principem

6:8
parat aestate cibum sibi et congregat in messe quod comedat

6:9
usquequo piger dormis quando consurges ex somno tuo

6:10
paululum dormies paululum dormitabis paululum conseresmanus ut dormias

6:11
et veniet tibi quasi viator egestas et pauperies quasi virarmatus

6:12
homo apostata vir inutilis graditur ore perverso

6:13
annuit oculis terit pede digito loquitur

6:14
pravo corde machinatur malum et in omni tempore iurgiaseminat

6:15
huic extemplo veniet perditio sua et subito conteretur nechabebit ultra medicinam

6:16
sex sunt quae odit Dominus et septimum detestatur animaeius

6:17
oculos sublimes linguam mendacem manus effundentes innoxiumsanguinem

6:18
cor machinans cogitationes pessimas pedes veloces adcurrendum in malum

6:19
proferentem mendacia testem fallacem et eum qui seminatinter fratres discordias

6:20
conserva fili mi praecepta patris tui et ne dimittas legemmatris tuae

6:21
liga ea in corde tuo iugiter et circumda gutturi tuo

6:22
cum ambulaveris gradiantur tecum cum dormieris custodiantte et evigilans loquere cum eis

6:23
quia mandatum lucerna est et lex lux et via vitaeincrepatio disciplinae

6:24
ut custodiant te a muliere mala et a blanda linguaextraneae

6:25
non concupiscat pulchritudinem eius cor tuum nec capiarisnutibus illius

6:26
pretium enim scorti vix unius est panis mulier autem viripretiosam animam capit

6:27
numquid abscondere potest homo ignem in sinu suo utvestimenta illius non ardeant

6:28
aut ambulare super prunas et non conburentur plantae eius

6:29
sic qui ingreditur ad mulierem proximi sui non erit munduscum tetigerit eam

6:30
non grandis est culpae cum quis furatus fuerit furatur enimut esurientem impleat animam

6:31
deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum et omnem substantiamdomus suae tradet

6:32
qui autem adulter est propter cordis inopiam perdet animamsuam

6:33
turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi et obprobriumillius non delebitur

6:34
quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictae

6:35
nec adquiescet cuiusquam precibus nec suscipiet proredemptione dona plurima

006:001
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

006:002
Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

006:003
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

006:004
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

006:005
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

006:006
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

006:007
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

006:008
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

006:009
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

006:010
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

006:011
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

006:012
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

006:013
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

006:014
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

006:015
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

006:016
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

006:017
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

006:018
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

006:019
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

006:020
My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

006:021
Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

006:022
When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

006:023
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

006:024
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

006:025
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

006:026
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life.

006:027
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

006:028
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?

006:029
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

006:030
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

006:031
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

006:032
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

006:033
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

006:034
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

006:035
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
