Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 6

Proverbs 6:1
My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, thou hast engaged fast thy hand to a stranger.

Proverbs 6:2
Thou art ensnared with the words of thy mouth, and caught with thy own words.

Proverbs 6:3
Do therefore, my son, what I say, and deliver thyself: because thou art fallen into the hand of thy neighbour. run about, make haste, stir up thy friend:

Proverbs 6:4
Give not sleep to thy eyes, neither let thy eyelids slumber.

Proverbs 6:5
Deliver thyself as a doe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

Proverbs 6:6
Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom:

Proverbs 6:7
Which, although she hath no guide, nor master, nor captain,

Proverbs 6:8
Provideth her meat for herself in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

Proverbs 6:9
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou rise out of thy sleep?

Proverbs 6:10
Thou wilt sleep a little, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to sleep:

Proverbs 6:11
And want shall come upon thee, as a traveller, and poverty as a man armed. But if thou be diligent, thy harvest shall come as a fountain, and want shall flee far from thee.

Proverbs 6:12
A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,

Proverbs 6:13
He winketh with the eyes, presseth with the foot, speaketh with the finger.

Proverbs 6:14
With a wicked heart he deviseth evil, and at all times he soweth discord.

Proverbs 6:15
To such a one his destruction shall presently come, and he shall suddenly be destroyed, and shall no longer have any remedy.

Proverbs 6:16
Six things there are, which the Lord hateth, and the seventh his soul detesteth:

Proverbs 6:17
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

Proverbs 6:18
A heart that deviseth wicked plots, feet that are swift to run into mischief,

Proverbs 6:19
A deceitful witness that uttereth lies, and him that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 6:20
My son, beep the commandments of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother.

Proverbs 6:21
Bind them in thy heart continually, and put them about thy neck.

Proverbs 6:22
When thou walkest, let them go with thee: when thou sleepest, let them keep thee; and when thou awakest, talk with them.

Proverbs 6:23
Because the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Proverbs 6:24
That they may keep thee from the evil woman, and from the flattering tongue of the stranger.

Proverbs 6:25
Let not thy heart covet her beauty, be not caught with her winks:

Proverbs 6:26
For the price of a harlot is scarce one loaf: but the woman catcheth the precious soul of a man.

Proverbs 6:27
Can a man hide fire in his bosom, and his garments not burn?

Proverbs 6:28
Or can he walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be burnt?

Proverbs 6:29
So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife, shall not be clean when he shall touch her.

Proverbs 6:30
The fault is not so great when a man hath stolen: for he stealeth to fill his hungry soul:

Proverbs 6:31
And if he be taken he shall restore sevenfold, and shall give up all the substance of his house.

Proverbs 6:32
But he that is an adulterer, for the folly of his heart shall destroy his own soul:

Proverbs 6:33
He gathereth to himself shame and dishonour, and his reproach shall not be blotted out:

Proverbs 6:34
Because the jealousy and rage of the husband will not spare in the day of revenge,

Proverbs 6:35
Nor will he yield to any man’s prayers, nor will he accept for satisfaction ever so many gifts.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
