NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Proverbs 6

Parental Counsel

1

My sonh1121, ifh518 you have becomeh6148  asuretyh6148 for your neighborh7453, Have  1givenh8628 a pledgeh3709 for a strangerh2114a,

2

If you have been snaredh3369 with the wordsh561 of your mouthh6310, Have been caughth3920 with the wordsh561 of your mouthh6310,

3

Doh6213a thish384 thenh645, my sonh1121, and deliverh5337 yourselfh5337; Sinceh3588 you have comeh935 into the  1handh3709 of your neighborh7453, Goh1980, humbleh7511 yourself, and importuneh7292 your neighborh7453.

4

Giveh5414 no  asleeph8142 to your eyesh5869, Norh408 slumberh8572 to your eyelidsh6079;

5

Deliverh5337 yourselfh5337 like a gazelleh6643b from the hunter's handh3027 And like a  abirdh6833 from the handh3027 of the fowlerh3353.

6

Goh1980 to the  aanth5244, O  bsluggardh6102, Observeh7200 her waysh1870 and be wiseh2449,

7

Whichh834, havingh369  anoh369 chiefh7101, Officerh7860 or rulerh4910,

8

Preparesh3559 her foodh3899  ain the summerh7019c And gathersh103 her provisionh3978 in the harvesth7105a.

9

Howh4970 longh5704 will you lieh7901 downh7901, O sluggardh6102? Whenh4970 will you ariseh6965 from your sleeph8142?

10

aA littleh4592 sleeph8142, a littleh4592 slumberh8572, A littleh4592 foldingh2264 of the handsh3027 to  1resth7901"--

11

 aYour povertyh7389 will comeh935 in like a  1vagabondh1980 And your needh4270 like  2an armedh4043 manh376.

12

A  aworthlessh1100 personh120, a wickedh205 manh376, Is the one who walksh1980 with a  bperverseh6143 mouthh6310,

13

Who  awinksh7169 with his eyesh5869, who  1signalsh4448b with his feeth7272, Who  2pointsh3384 with his fingersh676;

14

Who with  aperversityh8419 in his hearth3820 continuallyh3605h6256  bdevisesh2790a evilh7451b, Who  1 cspreadsh7971 strifeh4066.

15

Thereforeh5921h3651  ahis calamityh343 will comeh935 suddenlyh6597;  bInstantlyh6621 he will be brokenh7665 and thereh369 will be  cnoh369 healingh4832.

16

Thereh1992a are sixh8337a thingsh8337a which the LORDh3068 hatesh8130, Yes, sevenh7651 which are an abominationh8441  1to Him:

17

 aHaughtyh7311 eyesh5869, a  blyingh8267 tongueh3956, And handsh3027 that  cshedh8210 innocenth5355a bloodh1818,

18

A hearth3820 that devisesh2790a  awickedh205 plansh4284,  bFeeth7272 that runh7323 rapidlyh4116 to evilh7463a,

19

A  afalseh8267 witnessh5707 who uttersh6315 liesh3577, And one who  1 bspreadsh7971 strifeh4090 amongh996 brothersh251.

20

 aMy sonh1121, observeh5341 the commandmenth4687 of your fatherh1 And do not forsakeh5203 the  1teachingh8451 of your motherh517;

21

 aBindh7194 them continuallyh8548 on your hearth3820; Tieh6029 them aroundh5921 your neckh1621.

22

When you  awalkh1980 about,  1they will guideh5148 you; When you sleeph7901,  1they will watchh8104 overh5921 you; And when you awakeh7019a,  1they will talkh7878 to you.

23

For  athe commandmenth4687 is a lamph5216 and the  1teachingh8451 is lighth216; And reproofsh8433b for disciplineh4148 are the wayh1870 of lifeh2425b

24

To  akeeph8104 you from the evilh7451b womanh802, From the smoothh2513b tongueh3956 of the  1adulteressh5237.

25

 aDo not desireh2530 her beautyh3308 in your hearth3824, Norh408 let her captureh3947 you with her  beyelidsh6079.

26

For  aon accounth1157 of a harloth2181 one is reduced to a loafh3603 of breadh3899, And  1an adulteressh802h376  bhuntsh6679 for the precioush3368 lifeh5315.

27

Can a manh376  1takeh2846 fireh784 in his bosomh2436 And his clothesh899b not be burnedh8313?

28

Orh518 can a manh376 walkh1980 on hot coalsh1513 And his feeth7272 not be scorchedh3554?

29

Soh3651 is the one who  agoesh935 in to his neighbor'sh7453 wifeh802; Whoeverh3605 touchesh5060 her  bwill not  1goh5352 unpunishedh5352.

30

 1Men do not despiseh936 a thiefh1590 ifh3588 he stealsh1589 To  asatisfyh4390  2himselfh5315 whenh3588 he is hungryh7456;

31

But when he is foundh4672, he must  arepayh7999a sevenfoldh7659; He must giveh5414 allh3605 the  1substanceh1952 of his househ1004.

32

The one who commitsh5003 adulteryh5003 with a womanh802 is  alackingh2638  1senseh3820; He who would  bdestroyh7843  2himselfh5315 doesh6213a it.

33

Woundsh5061 and disgraceh7036 he will findh4672, And his reproachh2781 will not be blottedh4229a out.

34

For  ajealousyh7068  1enragesh2534 a manh1397, And he will not spareh2550 in the  bdayh3117 of vengeanceh5359.

35

He will not  1accepth5375h6440 anyh3605 ransomh3724a, Norh3808 will he be  2satisfiedh14 thoughh3588 you giveh7235a manyh7235a  3giftsh7810.
