Proverbs 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 Dear friend, if you've gone into hock with your neighbor or locked yourself into a deal with a stranger,

2 If you've impulsively promised the shirt off your back and now find yourself shivering out in the cold,

3 Friend, don't waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess. You're in that man's clutches! Go, put on a long face; act desperate.

4 Don't procrastinate - there's no time to lose.

5 Run like a deer from the hunter, fly like a bird from the trapper! A Lesson from the Ant

6 You lazy fool, look at an ant. Watch it closely; let it teach you a thing or two.

7 Nobody has to tell it what to do.

8 All summer it stores up food; at harvest it stockpiles provisions.

9 So how long are you going to laze around doing nothing? How long before you get out of bed?

10 A nap here, a nap there, a day off here, a day off there, sit back, take it easy - do you know what comes next?

11 Just this: You can look forward to a dirt-poor life, poverty your permanent houseguest! Always Cooking Up Something Nasty

12 Riffraff and rascals talk out of both sides of their mouths.

13 They wink at each other, they shuffle their feet, they cross their fingers behind their backs.

14 Their perverse minds are always cooking up something nasty, always stirring up trouble.

15 Catastrophe is just around the corner for them, a total smash-up, their lives ruined beyond repair. Seven Things God Hates

16 Here are six things God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion:

17 eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent,

18 a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track,

19 a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family. Warning on Adultery

20 Good friend, follow your father's good advice; don't wander off from your mother's teachings.

21 Wrap yourself in them from head to foot; wear them like a scarf around your neck.

22 Wherever you walk, they'll guide you; whenever you rest, they'll guard you; when you wake up, they'll tell you what's next.

23 For sound advice is a beacon, good teaching is a light, moral discipline is a life path.

24 They'll protect you from wanton women, from the seductive talk of some temptress.

25 Don't lustfully fantasize on her beauty, nor be taken in by her bedroom eyes.

26 You can buy an hour with a whore for a loaf of bread, but a wanton woman may well eat you alive.

27 Can you build a fire in your lap and not burn your pants?

28 Can you walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blisters?

29 It's the same when you have sex with your neighbor's wife: Touch her and you'll pay for it. No excuses.

30 Hunger is no excuse for a thief to steal;

31 When he's caught he has to pay it back, even if he has to put his whole house in hock.

32 Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive;

33 Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good.

34 For jealousy detonates rage in a cheated husband; wild for revenge, he won't make allowances.

35 Nothing you say or pay will make it all right; neither bribes nor reason will satisfy him.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fili mi si spoponderis pro amico tuo defixisti apud extraneum manum tuam

2 inlaqueatus es verbis oris tui et captus propriis sermonibus

3 fac ergo quod dico fili mi et temet ipsum libera quia incidisti in manu proximi tui discurre festina suscita amicum tuum

4 ne dederis somnum oculis tuis nec dormitent palpebrae tuae

5 eruere quasi dammula de manu et quasi avis de insidiis aucupis

6 vade ad formicam o piger et considera vias eius et disce sapientiam

7 quae cum non habeat ducem nec praeceptorem nec principem

8 parat aestate cibum sibi et congregat in messe quod comedat

9 usquequo piger dormis quando consurges ex somno tuo

10 paululum dormies paululum dormitabis paululum conseres manus ut dormias

11 et veniet tibi quasi viator egestas et pauperies quasi vir armatus

12 homo apostata vir inutilis graditur ore perverso

13 annuit oculis terit pede digito loquitur

14 pravo corde machinatur malum et in omni tempore iurgia seminat

15 huic extemplo veniet perditio sua et subito conteretur nec habebit ultra medicinam

16 sex sunt quae odit Dominus et septimum detestatur anima eius

17 oculos sublimes linguam mendacem manus effundentes innoxium sanguinem

18 cor machinans cogitationes pessimas pedes veloces ad currendum in malum

19 proferentem mendacia testem fallacem et eum qui seminat inter fratres discordias

20 conserva fili mi praecepta patris tui et ne dimittas legem matris tuae

21 liga ea in corde tuo iugiter et circumda gutturi tuo

22 cum ambulaveris gradiantur tecum cum dormieris custodiant te et evigilans loquere cum eis

23 quia mandatum lucerna est et lex lux et via vitae increpatio disciplinae

24 ut custodiant te a muliere mala et a blanda lingua extraneae

25 non concupiscat pulchritudinem eius cor tuum nec capiaris nutibus illius

26 pretium enim scorti vix unius est panis mulier autem viri pretiosam animam capit

27 numquid abscondere potest homo ignem in sinu suo ut vestimenta illius non ardeant

28 aut ambulare super prunas et non conburentur plantae eius

29 sic qui ingreditur ad mulierem proximi sui non erit mundus cum tetigerit eam

30 non grandis est culpae cum quis furatus fuerit furatur enim ut esurientem impleat animam

31 deprehensus quoque reddet septuplum et omnem substantiam domus suae tradet

32 qui autem adulter est propter cordis inopiam perdet animam suam

33 turpitudinem et ignominiam congregat sibi et obprobrium illius non delebitur

34 quia zelus et furor viri non parcet in die vindictae

35 nec adquiescet cuiusquam precibus nec suscipiet pro redemptione dona plurima
