Practical Warnings

1 My son, if you have put up ¹security for your neighbor, have ²given your pledge for a stranger,

2 if you are ³snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,

3 then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten,^a and ⁴plead urgently with your neighbor.

4 ⁵Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;

5 save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,^b ⁶like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6 ⁷Go to ⁸the ant, O ⁹sluggard; consider her ways, and ¹⁰be wise.

7 ¹¹Without having any chief, ¹²officer, or ruler,

8 she prepares her bread ¹³in summer and ¹⁴gathers her food in harvest.

9 ¹⁵How long will you lie there, ¹⁶O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

10 ¹⁷A little sleep, a little slumber, ¹⁸a little ¹⁹folding of the hands to rest,

11 ²⁰and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.

12 ²¹A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with ²²crooked speech,

13 ²³winks with his eyes, signals^c with his feet, points with his finger,

14 with ²⁴perverted heart ²⁵devises evil, continually ²⁶sowing discord;

15 therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; ²⁷in a moment he will be broken ²⁸beyond healing.

16 There are ²⁹six things that the LORD hates, ³⁰seven that are an abomination to him:

17 ³¹haughty eyes, ³²a lying tongue, and ³³hands that shed innocent blood,

18 ³⁴a heart that devises wicked plans, ³⁵feet that make haste to run to evil,

19 ³⁶a false witness who ³⁷breathes out lies, and one who ³⁸sows discord among brothers.
