2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth thou art taken with the words of thy mouth

3 Do this now my son and deliver thyself when thou art come into the hand of thy friend go humble thyself and make sure thy friend

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes nor slumber to thine eyelids

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter and as a bird from the hand of the fowler

6 Go to the ant thou sluggard consider her ways and be wise

7 Which having no guide overseer or ruler

8 Provideth her meat in the summer and gathereth her food in the harvest

9 How long wilt thou sleep O sluggard when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep

10 Yet a little sleep a little slumber a little folding of the hands to sleep

11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth and thy want as an armed man

12 A naughty person a wicked man walketh with a froward mouth

13 He winketh with his eyes he speaketh with his feet he teacheth with his fingers

14 Frowardness is in his heart he deviseth mischief continually he soweth discord __

15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly suddenly shall he be broken without remedy

16 These six things doth the LORD hate yea seven are an abomination unto him

17 A proud look a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations feet that be swift in running to mischief

19 A false. witness that speaketh lies and he that soweth discord among brethren

20 My son keep thy father's commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother

21 Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck

22 When thou goest it shall lead thee when thou sleepest it shall keep thee and when thou awakest it shall talk with thee

23 For the commandment is a lamp and the law is light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life

24 To keep thee from the evil woman from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman

25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart neither let her take thee with her eyelids

26 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

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned

28 Can one go upon hot coals and his feet not be burned

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent

30 Men do not despise a thief if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry

31 But if he be found he shall restore sevenfold he shall give all the substance of his house

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul

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

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance

35 He will not regard __ any ransom neither will he rest content though thou givest many gifts
