Biblia
- 1
- My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast stricken for a stranger thy hand,
- 2
- Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been captured with sayings of thy mouth,
- 3
- Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and strengthen thy friend,
- 4
- Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids,
- 5
- Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the hand of a fowler.
- 6
- Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise;
- 7
- Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler,
- 8
- She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food.
- 9
- Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou arise from thy sleep?
- 10
- A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the hands to rest,
- 11
- And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as an armed man.
- 12
- A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking `with' perverseness of mouth,
- 13
- Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,
- 14
- Frowardness `is' in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.
- 15
- Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken -- and no healing.
- 16
- These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven `are' abominations to His soul.
- 17
- Eyes high -- tongues false -- And hands shedding innocent blood --
- 18
- A heart devising thoughts of vanity -- Feet hasting to run to evil --
- 19
- A false witness `who' doth breathe out lies -- And one sending forth contentions between brethren.
- 20
- Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother.
- 21
- Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck.
- 22
- In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh `with' thee.
- 23
- For a lamp `is' the command, And the law a light, And a way of life `are' reproofs of instruction,
- 24
- To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
- 25
- Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take thee with her eyelids.
- 26
- For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an adulteress the precious soul hunteth.
- 27
- Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments not burnt?
- 28
- Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not scorched?
- 29
- So `is' he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour, None who doth touch her is innocent.
- 30
- They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his soul when he is hungry,
- 31
- And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of his house he giveth.
- 32
- He who committeth adultery `with' a woman lacketh heart, He is destroying his soul who doth it.
- 33
- A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not wiped away,
- 34
- For jealousy `is' the fury of a man, And he doth not spare in a day of vengeance.
- 35
- He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes!
