⁶Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
⁷Without having any chief, officer or ruler, ⁸she prepares her food in summer,
and gathers her sustenance in harvest.
⁹How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
¹⁰A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
¹¹and poverty will come upon you like a vagabond,
and want like an armed man.

¹²A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
¹³winks with his eyes,
scrapes with his feet,
points with his finger,
¹⁴with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
¹⁵therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

¹⁶There are six things which Yahweh hates,
seven which are an abomination to him:
¹⁷haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
¹⁸a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
¹⁹a false witness who breathes out lies,
and a man who sows discord among brothers.

Warning against adultery.  Pr.6.20-7.5

²⁰My son, keep your father's commandment,
and forsake not your mother's teaching.
²¹Bind them upon your heart always;
tie them about your neck.
²²When you walk, they will lead you;
when you lie down, they will watch over you;
and when you awake, they will talk with you.
²³For the commandment is a lamp
and the teaching a light,
and the reproofs of discipline
are the way of life,
²⁴to preserve you from the evil woman,
from the smooth tongue of the adventuress.
²⁵Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
²⁶for a harlot may be hired for a loaf of bread,
but an adulteress stalks a man's very life.
²⁷Can a man carry fire in his bosom
and his clothes not be burned?
²⁸Or can one walk upon hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
²⁹So is he who goes in to his neighbour's wife;
none who touches her will go unpunished.
³⁰Do not men despise a thief if he steals
to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry?
³¹And if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold;
he will give all the goods of his house.
³²He who commits adultery has no sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
³³Wounds and dishonour will he get,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
³⁴For jealousy makes a man furious,
and he will not spare when he takes revenge.
³⁵He will accept no compensation,
nor be appeased though you multiply gifts.
