Prov 6
Proverbs of David continues, training Solomon for the throne
1 My Son, when interrelating with neighbours, even by just clasping palms with strangers,
2 utterances of your mouth can ensnare you even utterances of your mouth can catch you.
3 strictly do this, my son, to deliver your palm from the friend that come - humble yourself as you walk with a neighbor that behave arrogantly -
4 - to give sleep to your eyes, and slumbering to your eyelids.
5 - deliver your prominence/splendor from the hand that laid snares for you just as bird in a hand.
6 even if others are lazy, walk around the ants - see their way, and be wise:
7 as a guide, secretary should rule them;
8 so, they prepare food in summer, by gathering eatables from the harvested crops.
9 why being lazy? You are still lying down, will you get up from sleep?
10 from folding of hands, he lie down a little, and from little slumbering to a little sleep
11 poverty is coming to a man who walk around, lacking a shield,
12 - like Adam, this man walks around, exerting his mouth in perversity and worthless things (belial),
13 - he rhyme/narrate what he easily point out with fingers, squeeze out with eyes and feet.
14 fraud/perversity is in his heart, and as he devises evil in silence, it is time to send forth - (discord) and strife.
15 there comes a sudden misfortune and in a moment, his health will breaks down.
16 souls hate these six things, and the seven (in full) are abominations to Jehovah;
17 eyes that is highly raised/haughty, tongue that is deceitful, hand that shed innocent blood,
18 the mind/heart that devise imaginations of exerting self in vain and the feet that is swift in running to evil,
19 a false witness that send forth falsehood, and a brother that kindle discord.
20 My Son, guard the commands of your father and mother as it is left in the law (Torah):
21 connect them to your mind/heart, and continually tie them to your neck:
22 meditate/converse with yourself, when you wake up; to guide you while walking around and to preserve you when you lie down,
23 the commandment is a lamp of instructions and the law (Torah) is a light of correction - to the way of life:
24 to preserve you from foreign women/wives and portions of their evil-tongue,
25 even if others are taken by her eyelids, - delight in the beauty of her inner heart;
26 on account of a whorish/wanton woman, for a round of bread, woman will hunt the precious soul of man:
27 Why will a man will chop and set on fire as a cover up in his bosom?
28 Why will a man walk around on kindled coals, to blister/prick his feet?
29 if others would touch, exonerate yourself, when a neighbor's wife come;
30 a thief, who steal to fill his hungry soul will still be despised, - -
31 - and must find and give seven times of the wealth/fortune of his household to be safe.
32 a wife that commit adultery is destitute in her mind/heart - making her own soul decayed/corrupted;
33 if it is found out, she must erase her reproach and infliction of disgrace;
34 even a valiant-man will pity her on the day of vengeance because of the heat/rage of jealousy,
35 and faces will be lifted up unto a ransom/bribe - and they would be willing to even increase the redemptive gifts.
