| 1 | My sonne, if thou bee surety for thy friend, it thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, |
| 2 | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the wordes of thy mouth. |
| 3 | Doe this now, my sonne, and deliuer thy selfe, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend: goe, humble thy selfe, and make sure thy friend. |
| 4 | Giue not sleepe to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
| 5 | Deliuer thy selfe as a Roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
| 6 | Goe to the Ant, thou sluggard, consider her wayes, and be wise. |
| 7 | Which hauing no guide, ouerseer, or ruler, |
| 8 | Prouideth her meat in the Summer, and gathereth her food in the haruest. |
| 9 | How long wilt thou sleepe, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleepe? |
| 10 | Yet a little sleepe, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleepe. |
| 11 | So shall thy pouertie come as one that trauaileth, and thy want as an armed man. |
| 12 | A naughtie person, a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth. |
| 13 | He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feete, hee teacheth with his fingers. |
| 14 | Frowardnesse is in his heart, he deuiseth mischiefe continually, he soweth discord. |
| 15 | Therefore shall his calamitie come suddenly; suddenly shall hee be broken without remedie. |
| 16 | These sixe things doeth the Lord hate; yea seuen are an abomination vnto him: |
| 17 | A proude looke, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood: |
| 18 | An heart that deuiseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischiefe: |
| 19 | A false witnesse that speaketh lies; and him that soweth discord among brethren. |
| 20 | My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not the law of thy mother. |
| 21 | Binde them continually vpon thine heart, and tie them about thy necke. |
| 22 | When thou goest, it shall leade thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepe thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talke with thee. |
| 23 | For the Commandement is a lampe, and the Lawe is light: and reproofes of instruction are the way of life: |
| 24 | To keepe thee from the euill woman, from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman. |
| 25 | Lust not after her beautie in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
| 26 | For by meanes of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteresse will hunt for the precious life. |
| 27 | Can a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be burnt? |
| 28 | Can one goe vpon hote coales, and his feete not be burnt? |
| 29 | So he that goeth in to his neighbours wife; whosoeuer toucheth her, shall not be innocent. |
| 30 | Men doe not despise a thiefe, if he steale to satisfie his soule, when hee is hungry: |
| 31 | But if he be found, he shall restore seuenfold, he shall giue all the substance of his house. |
| 32 | But who so committeth adultery with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: hee that doeth it, destroyeth his owne soule. |
| 33 | A wound and dishonour shall he get, and his reproch shall not be wiped away. |
| 34 | For iealousie is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
| 35 | He will not regard any ransome; neither will hee rest content, though thou giuest many giftes. |
