14. Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.
15. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.
16. There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which 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 run rapidly to evil,
19. A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.
20. My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;
21. Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.
22. When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.
23. For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
24. To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
25. Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.
26. For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.
27. Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?
28. Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?
