10. A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands for rest—
11. like a robber shall your poverty come, and what you lack like an armed man.
12. A worthless man, an evil man, goes around with deceitful speech.
13. Winking in his eye, shuffling in his foot, pointing in his fingers,
14. perversion in his heart, he devises evil; at all times he will send out discord.
15. Upon such a man, suddenly shall his calamity come; in a moment he will be damaged and there is no healing.
16. There are six things Yahweh hates, and seven things are abominations of his soul:
17. haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. a devising heart, plans of deception, feet that hurry to run to evil,
19. a false witness who breathes lies and sends out discord between brothers.
20. My child, keep the commandment of your father, and do not disregard the instruction of your mother.
21. Bind them on your heart continually; tie them upon your neck.
22. When you walk, she will lead you, When you lie down, she will watch over you, and when you awake, she will converse with you.
23. For like a lamp is a commandment, and instruction is light, and the way of life is the reproof of discipline,
24. in order to preserve you from an evil woman, from the smoothness of the tongue of an adulteress.
25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart; may she not capture you with her eyelashes.
26. For the price of a woman, a prostitute, is the price of a loaf of bread, but the woman belonging to a man hunts precious life.
27. Can a man carry fire in his lap, and his clothes not burn?
