He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; (6:13) Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord (6:14) Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy (6:15) These six [things] doth the Lord hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: (6:16) A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, (6:17) An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, (6:18) A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren (6:19) My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: (6:20) Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck (6:21) When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee (6:22) For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life: (6:23) To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman (6:24) Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids (6:25) For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life (6:26) Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? (6:27) Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? (6:28) So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent (6:29) [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; (6:30) But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house (6:31) [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul (6:32) A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away (6:33) For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance (6:34) He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts
(6:35)
