Proverbs 6:13-28 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

13. He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.

14. With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.

15. To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.

16. Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:

17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

18. A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,

19. A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.

20. My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

21. Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.

22. When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.

23. Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

24. That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.

25. Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

26. For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.

27. Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?

28. Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?
