9. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?When will you arise from your sleep?
10. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
11. and poverty will come upon you like a robber,and want like an armed man.
12. A worthless person, a wicked man,goes about with crooked speech,
13. winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,points with his finger,
14. with perverted heart devises evil,continually sowing discord;
15. therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
16. There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue,and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
19. a false witness who breathes out lies,and one who sows discord among brothers.
20. My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.
