Proverbs 6:15-25

New Living Translation NLT

15 But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.

16 There are six things the LORD hates— no, seven things he detests:

17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,

18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,

19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.

20 My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

21 Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck.

22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.

23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.

24 It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.

25 Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.

New International Version NIV

15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.

16 There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:

17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,

19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

20 My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

21 Bind them always on your heart; fasten them around your neck.

22 When you walk, they will guide you; when you sleep, they will watch over you; when you awake, they will speak to you.

23 For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life,

24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife, from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.

25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.
