Proverbs 6

1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
1 ‫בְּ֭נִי אִם־עָרַ֣בְתָּ לְרֵעֶ֑ךָ תָּקַ֖עְתָּ לַזָּ֣ר כַּפֶּֽיךָ׃ ‬
2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
2 ‫נוֹקַ֥שְׁתָּ בְאִמְרֵי־פִ֑יךָ נִ֝לְכַּ֗דְתָּ בְּאִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ׃ ‬
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.
3 ‫עֲשֵׂ֨ה זֹ֥את אֵפ֪וֹא ׀ בְּנִ֡י וְֽהִנָּצֵ֗ל כִּ֘י בָ֤אתָ בְכַף־רֵעֶ֑ךָ לֵ֥ךְ הִ֝תְרַפֵּ֗ס וּרְהַ֥ב רֵעֶֽיךָ׃ ‬
4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
4 ‫אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן שֵׁנָ֣ה לְעֵינֶ֑יךָ וּ֝תְנוּמָ֗ה לְעַפְעַפֶּֽיךָ׃ ‬
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
5 ‫הִ֭נָּצֵל כִּצְבִ֣י מִיָּ֑ד וּ֝כְצִפּ֗וֹר מִיַּ֥ד יָקֽוּשׁ׃ פ ‬
6 ¶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
6 ‫לֵֽךְ־אֶל־נְמָלָ֥ה עָצֵ֑ל רְאֵ֖ה דְרָכֶ֣יהָ וַחֲכָֽם׃ ‬
7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
7 ‫אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֵֽין־לָ֥הּ קָצִ֗ין שֹׁטֵ֥ר וּמֹשֵֽׁל׃ ‬
8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
8 ‫תָּכִ֣ין בַּקַּ֣יִץ לַחְמָ֑הּ אָגְרָ֥ה בַ֝קָּצִ֗יר מַאֲכָלָֽהּ׃ ‬
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
9 ‫עַד־מָתַ֖י עָצֵ֥ל ׀ תִּשְׁכָּ֑ב מָ֝תַ֗י תָּק֥וּם מִשְּׁנָתֶֽךָ׃ ‬
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
10 ‫מְעַ֣ט שֵׁ֭נוֹת מְעַ֣ט תְּנוּמ֑וֹת מְעַ֓ט ׀ חִבֻּ֖ק יָדַ֣יִם לִשְׁכָּֽב׃ ‬
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
11 ‫וּבָֽא־כִמְהַלֵּ֥ךְ רֵאשֶׁ֑ךָ וּ֝מַחְסֹֽרְךָ֗ כְּאִ֣ישׁ מָגֵֽן׃ פ ‬
12 ¶ A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
12 ‫אָדָ֣ם בְּ֭לִיַּעַל אִ֣ישׁ אָ֑וֶן ה֝וֹלֵ֗ךְ עִקְּשׁ֥וּת פֶּֽה׃ ‬
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
13 ‫קֹרֵ֣ץ בְּ֭עֵינָו מֹלֵ֣ל בְּרַגְלָ֑ו מֹ֝רֶ֗ה בְּאֶצְבְּעֹתָֽיו׃ ‬
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
14 ‫תַּֽהְפֻּכ֨וֹת ׀ בְּלִבּ֗וֹ חֹרֵ֣שׁ רָ֣ע בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת *מדנים **מִדְיָנִ֥ים יְשַׁלֵּֽחַ׃ ‬
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
15 ‫עַל־כֵּ֗ן פִּ֭תְאֹם יָב֣וֹא אֵיד֑וֹ פֶּ֥תַע יִ֝שָּׁבֵ֗ר וְאֵ֣ין מַרְפֵּֽא׃ פ ‬
16 ¶ These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
16 ‫שֶׁשׁ־הֵ֭נָּה שָׂנֵ֣א יְהוָ֑ה וְ֝שֶׁ֗בַע *תועבות **תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃ ‬
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
17 ‫עֵינַ֣יִם רָ֭מוֹת לְשׁ֣וֹן שָׁ֑קֶר וְ֝יָדַ֗יִם שֹׁפְכ֥וֹת דָּם־נָקִֽי׃ ‬
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
18 ‫לֵ֗ב חֹ֭רֵשׁ מַחְשְׁב֣וֹת אָ֑וֶן רַגְלַ֥יִם מְ֝מַהֲר֗וֹת לָר֥וּץ לָֽרָעָה׃ ‬
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
19 ‫יָפִ֣יחַ כְּ֭זָבִים עֵ֣ד שָׁ֑קֶר וּמְשַׁלֵּ֥חַ מְ֝דָנִ֗ים בֵּ֣ין אַחִֽים׃ פ ‬
20 ¶ My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
20 ‫נְצֹ֣ר בְּ֭נִי מִצְוַ֣ת אָבִ֑יךָ וְאַל־תִּ֝טֹּ֗שׁ תּוֹרַ֥ת אִמֶּֽךָ׃ ‬
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
21 ‫קָשְׁרֵ֣ם עַל־לִבְּךָ֣ תָמִ֑יד עָ֝נְדֵ֗ם עַל־גַּרְגְּרֹתֶֽךָ׃ ‬
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
22 ‫בְּהִתְהַלֶּכְךָ֨ ׀ תַּנְחֶ֬ה אֹתָ֗ךְ בְּֽ֭שָׁכְבְּךָ תִּשְׁמֹ֣ר עָלֶ֑יךָ וַ֝הֲקִיצ֗וֹתָ הִ֣יא תְשִׂיחֶֽךָ׃ ‬
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
23 ‫כִּ֤י נֵ֣ר מִ֭צְוָה וְת֣וֹרָה א֑וֹר וְדֶ֥רֶךְ חַ֝יִּ֗ים תּוֹכְח֥וֹת מוּסָֽר׃ ‬
24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
24 ‫לִ֭שְׁמָרְךָ מֵאֵ֣שֶׁת רָ֑ע מֵֽ֝חֶלְקַ֗ת לָשׁ֥וֹן נָכְרִיָּֽה׃ ‬
25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
25 ‫אַל־תַּחְמֹ֣ד יָ֭פְיָהּ בִּלְבָבֶ֑ךָ וְאַל־תִּ֝קָּֽחֲךָ֗ בְּעַפְעַפֶּֽיהָ׃ ‬
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.
26 ‫כִּ֤י בְעַד־אִשָּׁ֥ה זוֹנָ֗ה עַֽד־כִּכַּ֫ר לָ֥חֶם וְאֵ֥שֶׁת אִ֑ישׁ נֶ֖פֶשׁ יְקָרָ֣ה תָצֽוּד׃ פ ‬
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
27 ‫הֲיַחְתֶּ֤ה אִ֓ישׁ אֵ֬שׁ בְּחֵיק֑וֹ וּ֝בְגָדָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִשָּׂרַֽפְנָה׃ ‬
28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
28 ‫אִם־יְהַלֵּ֣ךְ אִ֭ישׁ עַל־הַגֶּחָלִ֑ים וְ֝רַגְלָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִכָּוֶֽינָה׃ ‬
29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
29 ‫כֵּ֗ן הַ֭בָּא אֶל־אֵ֣שֶׁת רֵעֵ֑הוּ לֹ֥א יִ֝נָּקֶ֗ה כָּֽל־הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בָּֽהּ׃ ‬
30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
30 ‫לֹא־יָב֣וּזוּ לַ֭גַּנָּב כִּ֣י יִגְנ֑וֹב לְמַלֵּ֥א נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ כִּ֣י יִרְעָֽב׃ ‬
31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
31 ‫וְ֭נִמְצָא יְשַׁלֵּ֣ם שִׁבְעָתָ֑יִם אֶת־כָּל־ה֖וֹן בֵּית֣וֹ יִתֵּֽן׃ ‬
32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
32 ‫נֹאֵ֣ף אִשָּׁ֣ה חֲסַר־לֵ֑ב מַֽשְׁחִ֥ית נַ֝פְשׁ֗וֹ ה֣וּא יַעֲשֶֽׂנָּה׃ ‬
33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
33 ‫נֶֽגַע־וְקָל֥וֹן יִמְצָ֑א וְ֝חֶרְפָּת֗וֹ לֹ֣א תִמָּחֶֽה׃ ‬
34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
34 ‫כִּֽי־קִנְאָ֥ה חֲמַת־גָּ֑בֶר וְלֹֽא־יַ֝חְמ֗וֹל בְּי֣וֹם נָקָֽם׃ ‬
35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
35 ‫לֹא־יִ֭שָּׂא פְּנֵ֣י כָל־כֹּ֑פֶר וְלֹֽא־יֹ֝אבֶ֗ה כִּ֣י תַרְבֶּה־שֹֽׁחַד׃ פ ‬
