if thou hast
been
surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for
a
stranger
thy hand,
My son ,
if thou be
surety for thy friend, if

hast stricken thy hand with
a
stranger
,
Hast
been
snared with sayings
of thy mouth, Hast
been
captured
with sayings
of thy mouth ,
Thou
art
snared with the
words
of thy mouth, thou
art
taken
with the
words
of thy mouth .
Do this now, my son, and be
delivered
, For
thou hast
come into the hand of thy friend .
Go, trample
on
thyself, and strengthen
thy friend ,

thyself, and make
sure
thy friend .

Go unto
the ant, O
slothful
one,

Which hath
not
captain
, overseer, and
ruler,
Which having
no
guide
, overseer, or
ruler,
She
doth
prepare
in summer her
bread

hath
gathered
in
harvest
her food.

her
meat
in the

? When dost
thou arise from
thy sleep?
How
long
wilt
thou
sleep
, O sluggard
? when wilt
thou arise out
of
thy sleep?
A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding
of the hands to sleep:
And
thy poverty hath
come as a
traveller
, And thy want as an armed man.
So

thy poverty come as one
that
travelleth

A man
of
worthlessness
, a man of
iniquity
, Walking
`
with '
perverseness
of
mouth ,
A naughty
person
, a wicked
man, walketh
with a
froward
mouth .
Winking
with his eyes, speaking
with his feet, Directing
with his fingers ,
He
winketh
with his eyes, he
speaketh
with his feet, he
teacheth
with his fingers ;

is '
in his heart, devising
evil
at
all
times,
Contentions
he sendeth
forth
.

mischief
continually;
he
soweth
discord

broken --
and
no
healing
.
Therefore shall
his calamity come
suddenly;
suddenly
shall
he be
broken without
remedy
.

Jehovah
hated,
Yea, seven `
are '
abominations
to
His
soul.

him:
Eyes
high
--
tongues
false
--
And hands shedding
innocent blood --
A
proud
look,
a
lying
tongue,

thoughts
of
vanity
--
Feet hasting
to
run
to evil
--
An
heart that
deviseth
wicked
imaginations,
feet that
be
swift
in
running
to mischief,
A false witness `who'

sending
forth
contentions
between
brethren.

speaketh
lies ,
and he
that
soweth

brethren.

thy
going
up
and
down
, it leadeth
thee ,

thy
lying
down
, it watcheth
over
thee ,

--
it talketh
`
with '
thee.
When
thou
goest
, it shall
lead
thee ;
when
thou
sleepest
, it shall
keep
thee ;
and when
thou awakest,
it shall
talk
with thee.

his neighbour's
wife;
whosoever
toucheth
her shall
not
be
innocent.

his soul who

it
.

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

he rest
content
, though thou givest
many
gifts.
