Proverbs 6:16-25 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

16. There be six things which the Lord hateth; yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;

18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief;

19. A false witness that uttereth lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

20. My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

21. Bind them continually upon thine heart, tie them about thy neck.

22. When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

23. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.

25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
