[:en]Thoughts from Proverbs 6[:]

[:en]Warnings against laziness:

“Ants has no commander, overseer or ruler, but it stores its provision in summer and gather its food at harvest (vs. 6-8).  “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of hands to rest — Poverty will come like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man” (vs. 10-11)

6 Things the Lord hates and 7 that are detestable to Him:

“Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers” (vs. 16-19

Warnings against adultery:

“Keep away from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife.  Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adulteress preys upon your very own life.  Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched?  So is he who sleeps with another man’s wife; no one who touches her will go unpunished” (vs. 24-29)
