Proverbs 6:18-28

1. 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

2. 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

3. 20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

4. 21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.

5. 22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

6. 23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

7. 24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

8. 25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

9. 26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

10. 27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

11. 28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
