Proverbs 6                                                       Book of Proverbs     

Proverbs 6:1 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

 

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

• Your own words, could trap you

3 Do this now, my son, 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:

• A sluggard is a lazy person.
• Sluggard = OT:6101 to be indolent or slack
• If you want to know what God wants you to do, watch the ant?
• And do your best to imitate her.
• For the ant is better than lazy person, for the know when to work and when to rest

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

• The ant works through the summer to gather enough food to last through the winter.
• She doesn't need any help from the government.
• The ant gets it done. It is that simple.
• God is not talking about the disabled people

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

• An ant knows when to work, when to sleep.
• But a lazy person, they don't care.
• Theses are the give me people.

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

• Sleeping often accompanies procrastination.
• God is not talking about the disabled people
• This is not addressed to people that can't work.
• This is addressed to the lazy people that don't think they have to work.
• Many today think it's okay not to work.
• Many today are spiritually asleep.
• When will they wake up?

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.

• If the ant kicked the can down the road until tomorrow, she would starve to death come winter.
• A froward mouth is perverse.
• A froward mouth never says anything wise.

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:

• 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,

2. A lying tongue
3. Hands that shed innocent blood
4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
5. Feet that be swift in running to mischief
6. A false witness that speaketh lies
7. He that soweth discord among brethren

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

• Feet that be swift in running to mischief

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

• A false witness that speaketh lies

• Deuteronomy 19:16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
  17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
  18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
• 19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
• If false witness stand up and lies he shall be put to death, same as murderers

20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
