8. provides her food in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest.
9. How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11. So shall thy poverty come as one that travels and thy want as an armed man.
12. A wicked man of Belial walks with a perverse mouth.
13. He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers;
14. there is perversion in his heart; he devises evil continually; he sows discord.
15. Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
16. These six things does the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to evil,
19. a false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.
20. My son, keep thy father’s commandment and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21. Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck.
22. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

24. to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart, neither let her take thee with her eyes.
26. For by means of a whorish woman a man is reduced to a piece of bread, and the woman will hunt the precious soul of the man.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned?
28. Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
