Proverbi 6:1-19

Listen to Proverbi 6:1-19
1 FIGLIUOL mio, se tu hai fatta sicurtà al tuo prossimo, Se tu hai toccata la mano allo strano,
2 Tu sei allacciato con le parole della tua bocca, Tu sei preso con le parole della tua bocca.
3 Ora fa’ questo, figliuol mio, e riscuotiti; Poichè tu sei caduto in man del tuo prossimo, Va’, gittati a’ piedi de’ tuoi amici, e sollecitali.
4 Non lasciar dormire gli occhi tuoi, Nè sonnecchiar le tue palpebre.
5 Riscuotiti, come un cavriuolo di mano del cacciatore, E come un uccello di mano dell’uccellatore.
6 Va’, pigro, alla formica; Riguarda le sue vie, e diventa savio;
7 Conciossiachè ella non abbia nè capitano, Nè magistrato, nè signore;
8 E pure ella apparecchia nella state il suo cibo, E raduna nella ricolta il suo mangiare.
9 Infino a quando, o pigro, giacerai? Quando ti desterai dal tuo sonno?
10 Dormendo un poco, sonnecchiando un poco, Piegando un poco le braccia per riposare;
11 La tua povertà verrà come un viandante, E la tua necessità come uno scudiere.
12 L’uomo scellerato, l’uomo da nulla, Procede con perversità di bocca.
13 Egli ammicca con gli occhi, parla co’ piedi, Accenna con le dita;
14 Egli ha delle perversità nel suo cuore, Egli macchina del male in ogni tempo; Egli commette contese.
15 Perciò in un momento verrà la sua ruina; Egli di subito sarà fiaccato, senza rimedio.
16 Il Signore odia queste sei cose; Anzi queste sette son cosa abbominevole all’anima sua;
17 Gli occhi altieri, la lingua bugiarda, E la mani che spandono il sangue innocente,
18 Il cuore che divisa pensieri d’iniquità, I piedi che si affrettano per correre al male,
19 Il falso testimonio che sbocca menzogne, E colui che commette contese tra fratelli.

Proverbi 6:1-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 6

In this chapter the wise man dissuades from rash suretyship; exposes the sin of idleness; describes a wicked man; makes mention of seven things hateful to God; exhorts to attend to parental instructions and precepts, and cautions against adultery. Suretyship is described, Pr 6:1; and represented as a snare and a net, in which men are taken, Pr 6:2; and advice is given what to do in such a case, for safety in it, and deliverance from it, Pr 6:3-5; The sin of slothfulness is exposed, by observing the industry of the ant, Pr 6:6-8; by expostulating with the sluggard for his continuance in sloth, and by mimicking him, Pr 6:9,10; and by the poverty it brings upon him, Pr 6:11. Then a naughty wicked man is described, by his mouth, eyes, feet, fingers, and heart, whose ruin is sudden and inevitable, Pr 6:11-15. The seven things hateful to God are particularly named, Pr 6:16-19. And next the exhortation in some preceding chapters is reassumed, to attend to the instructions of parents; which will be found ornamental, pleasant, and useful, Pr 6:20-23. Especially to preserve from the lewd woman cautioned against, Pr 6:24,25; whose company is dissuaded from; on account of the extreme poverty and distress she brings persons to, and even danger of life, Pr 6:26; from the unavoidable ruin such come into, Pr 6:27-29; from the sin of uncleanness being greater than that of theft, Pr 6:30,31; from the folly the adulterer betrays; from the destruction of his soul, and the disgrace he brings on himself, Pr 6:32,33; and from the rage and irreconcilable offence of the husband of the adulteress, Pr 6:34,35.
