Young's Literal Translation: Proverbs Page 7

6:12 A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with] perverseness of mouth,

6:13 Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

6:14 Frowardness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

6:15 Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken -- and no healing.

6:16 These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations to His soul.

6:17 Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --

6:18 A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --

6:19 A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.

6:20 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.

6:21 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.

6:22 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh [with] thee.

6:23 For a lamp [is] the command, And the law a light, And a way of life [are] reproofs of instruction,

6:24 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

6:25 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.

6:26 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.

6:27 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?

6:28 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?

6:29 So [is] he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.

6:30 They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,

6:31 And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.

6:32 He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.

6:33 A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,

6:34 For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
