Proverbs 6:10-23

1. 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

2. 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

3. 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

4. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

5. 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

6. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

7. 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

8. 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

9. 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

10. 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

11. 20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

12. 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

13. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

14. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
