Proverbs 6:9-20

1. 9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

2. 10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

3. 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

4. 12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.

5. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;

6. 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.

7. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

8. 16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

9. 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

10. 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

11. 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

12. 20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
