Proverbs 6:13-24 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

13. he winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

14. deceits are in his heart; he deviseth mischief at all times, he soweth discords.

15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly: in a moment shall he be broken, and without remedy.

16. These six things doth Jehovah hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;

18. a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations; feet that are swift in running to mischief;

19. a false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discords among brethren.

20. My son, observe thy father's commandment, and forsake not the teaching 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 keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

23. For the commandment is a lamp, and the teaching a 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.
