Proverb Chapter 6

 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.
