Peshitta NT (1905)
PesNT(1905)
[1]MY son, if you have become surety for your friend, if you have obligated yourself to a stranger, [No book]
[2]Then you are snared with the words of your mouth, you are caught with the words of your lips. [No book]
[3]Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself because, for the sake of your friend, you have fallen into the hands of your enemies; go, therefore, and stir up your friend for whom you have become surety to meet his obligation. [No book]
[4]You shall not give sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eyelids. [No book]
[5]Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the snare, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler [No book]
[6]Be like the ant, consider her ways, and be wise; [No book]
[7]Though having no harvest and no ruler over her, neither any one to guide her, [No book]
[8]She provides her bread in the summer and gathers her food in the harvest. [No book]
[9]How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? [No book]
[10]Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands on the chest; [No book]
[11]And then poverty shall come upon you, and distress shall overtake you; become a successful man [No book]
[12]A fool, a wicked man, is unscrupulous. [No book]
[13]He winks with his eyes, he signals with his feet, he makes signs with his fingers; [No book]
[14]He is perverse in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord. [No book]
[15]Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; suddenly will he be broken without remedy. [No book]
[16]There are six things which the LORD hates; yea, the seventh is an abomination to him: [No book]
[17]Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. [No book]
[18]A heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that are swift in running to mischief, [No book]
[19]A false witness who speaks lies, and he who sows discord among brothers [No book]
[20]My son, keep your father's commandment and do not forsake the law of your mother; [No book]
[21]Impress them firmly on your heart and tie them about your neck. [No book]
[22]When you walk, let them follow you; let them be with you, keep them that they may keep you; and when you awake, meditate on them. [No book]
[23]For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is a light, and the reproofs of instruction are the way of life, [No book]
[24]To keep you from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. [No book]
[25]Do not lust after her beauty in your heart; neither let her snare you with her eyes, nor let her captivate you with her eyelids. [No book]
[26]For the appearance of a harlot is tempting like a loaf of bread; and the adulteress hunts for the precious life. [No book]
[27]Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? [No book]
[28]Can one walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? [No book]
[29]So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife and touches her; he shall not be innocent. [No book]
[30]No one wonders at a thief when he is caught stealing, for he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry; [No book]
[31]But if he is caught, he shall pay sevenfold; he shall give all the goods of his house. [No book]
[32]But he who commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding, and he destroys his own soul. [No book]
[33]And he who does it brings dishonor upon himself; and his reproach shall not be wiped out. [No book]
[34]For jealousy provokes a man's rage; therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. [No book]
[35]He will not regard any ransom; nor will he listen, though you increase the bribe [No book]
