15. So trouble will strike them in an instant;suddenly they will be so hurt no one can help them.
16. There are six things the Lord hates.There are seven things he cannot stand:
17. a proud look,a lying tongue,hands that kill innocent people,
18. a mind that thinks up evil plans,feet that are quick to do evil,
19. a witness who lies,and someone who starts arguments among families.
20. My son, keep your father’s commands,and don’t forget your mother’s teaching.
21. Keep their words in mind foreveras though you had them tied around your neck.
22. They will guide you when you walk.They will guard you when you sleep.They will speak to you when you are awake.
23. These commands are like a lamp;this teaching is like a light.And the correction that comes from themwill help you have life.
24. They will keep you from sinful womenand from the pleasing words of another man’s unfaithful wife.
25. Don’t desire her because she is beautiful.Don’t let her capture you by the way she looks at you.
26. A prostitute will treat you like a loaf of bread,and a woman who takes part in adultery may cost you your life.
