Proverbs 6:3-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3
Then do this, my son, and save yourself:
Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor,
Go, humble yourself, and be urgent with your neighbor
to free yourself.
4
Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids;
5
Save yourself like a gazelle from
the hunter’s
hand,
And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, you lazy one,
Observe its ways and be wise,
7
Which, having no chief,
Officer, or ruler,
8
Prepares its food in the summer
And
gathers its provision in the harvest.
9
How long will you lie down, you lazy one?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10
'A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,'
11
Then your poverty will come in like a drifter,
And your need like an armed man.
12
A worthless person, a wicked man,
Is one who walks with a perverse mouth,
13
Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who points with his fingers;
14
Who,
with
perversion in his heart, continually devises evil,
Who spreads strife.
15
Therefore his disaster will come suddenly;
Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.
16
There are six things that the
Lord
hates,
Seven that are an abomination to Him:
17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
King James Version
Chapter 6
3
Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4
Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5
Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7
Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8
Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
9
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12
A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13
He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14
Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15
Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16
These six things doth the
Lord
hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3
Do this, then, my son, and free yourself,
for you have put yourself in your neighbor’s power:
Go, humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor.
4
Don’t give sleep to your eyes
or slumber to your eyelids.
5
Escape like a gazelle from a hunter,
like a bird from a hunter’s trap.
6
Go to the ant, you slacker!
Observe its ways and become wise.
7
Without leader, administrator, or ruler,
8
it prepares its provisions in summer;
it gathers its food during harvest.
9
How long will you stay in bed, you slacker?
When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the arms to rest,
11
and your poverty will come like a robber,
your need, like a bandit.
12
A worthless person, a wicked man
goes around speaking dishonestly,
13
winking his eyes, signaling with his feet,
and gesturing with his fingers.
14
He always plots evil with perversity in his heart;
he stirs up trouble.
15
Therefore calamity will strike him suddenly;
he will be shattered instantly, beyond recovery.
16
The
Lord
hates six things;
in fact, seven are detestable to him:
17
arrogant eyes, a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that plots wicked schemes,
feet eager to run to evil,
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
3
follow my advice and save yourself,
for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy.
Now swallow your pride;
go and beg to have your name erased.
4
Don’t put it off; do it now!
Don’t rest until you do.
5
Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
like a bird fleeing from a net.
6
Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.
Learn from their ways and become wise!
7
Though they have no prince
or governor or ruler to make them work,
8
they labor hard all summer,
gathering food for the winter.
9
But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep?
When will you wake up?
10
A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest —
11
then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
12
What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars,
13
signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
14
Their perverted hearts plot evil,
and they constantly stir up trouble.
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,
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
3
then do this, my son, and save yourself,
for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:
go, hasten, and plead urgently with your neighbor.
4
Give your eyes no sleep
and your eyelids no slumber;
5
save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, O sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
7
Without having any chief,
officer, or ruler,
8
she prepares her bread in summer
and gathers her food in harvest.
9
How long will you lie there, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest,
11
and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
12
A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
13
winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,
points with his finger,
14
with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
15
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.
16
There are six things that the
Lord
hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
17
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
18
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
New International Version
Chapter 6
3
So do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go—to the point of exhaustion—
and give your neighbor no rest!
4
Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
5
Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
7
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
8
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
9
How long will you lie there, you sluggard?
When will you get up from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest—
11
and poverty will come on you like a thief
and scarcity like an armed man.
12
A troublemaker and a villain,
who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
13
who winks maliciously with his eye,
signals with his feet
and motions with his fingers,
14
who plots evil with deceit in his heart—
he always stirs up conflict.
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,
New King James Version
Chapter 6
3
So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
4
Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5
Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand
of the hunter,
And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7
Which, having no captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8
Provides her supplies in the summer,
And
gathers her food in the harvest.
9
How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10
A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11
So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
12
A worthless person, a wicked man,
Walks with a perverse mouth;
13
He winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
14
Perversity
is
in his heart,
He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.
15
Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly;
Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy.
16
These six
things
the
Lord
hates,
Yes, seven
are
an abomination to Him:
17
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
18
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
