005:010 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man's house. 005:011 You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed, 005:012 and say, "How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 005:013 neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me! 005:014 I have come to the brink of utter ruin, in the midst of the gathered assembly." 005:015 Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well. 005:016 Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares? 005:017 Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you. 005:018 Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. 005:019 A loving doe and a graceful deer--let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love. 005:020 For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another? 005:021 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths. 005:022 The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly. 005:023 He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray. 006:001 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger; 006:002 You are trapped by the words of your mouth. You are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 006:003 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, seeing you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 006:004 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 006:005 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 006:006 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; 006:007 which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, 006:008 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 006:009 How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 006:010 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 006:011 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man. 006:012 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth; 006:013 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers; 006:014 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. 006:015 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 006:016 There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 006:017 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;
