Proverb Chapter 6

Prov 6

Proverbs of David continues, training Solomon for the throne

1 My Son, when interrelating with neighbours, even by just clapping palms for strangers, - 

2 - the utterances of your mouth can ensnare you, and you can be caught by the utterances of your mouth.

3 strictly do this then, my son, for your palm to be delivered from a companion that come to you, - humble yourself as you walk with a companion that behave arrogantly; - 

4 - and you will give your eyelids and eyes a nap/slumber for (disliked) years.

5 - deliver your prominence/splendor from their hands, just like a bird from a hand that lay snares for it.

6 even if others are lazy, walk around the ants - see their ways and be wise:

7 like officer/secretary, ruling by written/legal documents;

8 so, they prepare food in summer, by gathering eatables from the harvested crops. 

9 why being lazy? Will you rise-up from lying down for all those disliked-years?

10 from folding of hands, to lying down a little, to a little nap/slumbering, and now, little by little it has been for some (disliked) years. 

11 A man who walk around in poverty will at least be with a shield when coming to a Leadership position. (Prov 24:34)

12 but a man like Adam in stubbornness, will be walking around, exerting his mouth on worthless things (belial).

13 as if he could fearfully rhyme/narrate things with fingers of his feet or blinking/wink of his eyes, 

14 he will devise upheaval in silence, because evil is in his heart, and at a time, he will send out things unto (discord) and strife. 

15 A sudden misfortune will come to him and in a moment, his health will break down.

16 souls hate these six things, and the seven (full one) is abomination to Jehovah;

17 Eye that is highly raised/exalted, tongue of lie, hand that shed innocent blood,

18 the mind/heart that exert itself on silently devising evil-imaginations, feet that are swift to run with --

19 - - lies/feigned things, a witness sent out for falsehood, and someone who kindle/fan breeze on discord among brethren.

20 My son, guard the Law (torah) and the commands of your father and mother even if some abandon it (Prov 1:8). 

21 continually tie them around your throat/wind-pipe and connect your mind/heart to it.

22 meditate/converse upon it with yourself, when you wake up; fot it to guide you while walking around and to preserve you when you lie down;

23 the commandment is a lamp for correction and the law (Torah) is a light for rebuke - to the way of Life:

24 it will preserve you from foreign women/wives and evil things shared/divided by their tongues, 

25 even if others will receive her because of her eyelids, you, delight in the beauty of her inner heart.

26 a woman at a round-about/town square, who is into prostitution, in the presence of valuable/costly things, the soul of such a woman will hunt a man for bread;

27 Why will a man deal treacherously and thereby grab things to set his bosom on fire (saraph H8414)?

28 Why will a man walk around with his feet on burning coals?

29 when a neighbor's wife come to you, if others would touch her, exonerate yourself.

30 a thief, who steal to replenish his hungry soul will still be despised, - - 

31 - and if he is found, he will give seven times of the wealth/fortune of his household, for him to be safe. 

32 a wife that commit adultery is destitute in her mind/heart, because she has made her own soul decayed/corrupted.

33 if her shame is found out, her reproach will only be erased by infliction/plague.

34 even you will pity her on the day of her vengeance because of the heat/rage will be according to the jealousy out a valiant-man.

35 A face that is lifted up unto bribe/gift, would be willing to even multiply the ransom.
