16. There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:
17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
18. A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,
19. A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.
20. My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:
21. Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.
22. When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over 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 foreigner’s tongue.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26. For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
