So – what I am doing today is … Today I Do (love how that came together 
… this …
1 – My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
2 – Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
3 – Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
4 – Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
5 – Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Lessons for Daily Life
1 My child, if you have put up security for a friend’s debt or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—
2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement and are caught by what you said—
3 follow my advice and save yourself, for you have placed yourself at your friend’s mercy.
Now swallow your pride; go and beg to have your name erased.
4 Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do.
5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.
Bible-History
6 – Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
7 – Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
8 – Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food in the harvest.
9 – How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 – [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 – So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
New Living Translation
6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!
7 Though they have no prince or governor or ruler to make them work,
8 they labor hard all summer, gathering food for the winter.
9 But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep? When will you wake up?
10 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—
11 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
Bible-History
12 – A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 – He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 – Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 – Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
New Living Translation
12 What are worthless and wicked people like? They are constant liars,
13 signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.
14 Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble.
15 But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.
Bible-History
16 – These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him:
17 – A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 – An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 – A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
New Living Translation
16 There are six things the LORD hates—no, seven things he detests:
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.
Bible-History
20 – My son, keep thy father’s commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 – Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them about thy neck.
22 – When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 – For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:
24 – To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
25 – Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26 – For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
27 – Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
28 – Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
29 – So he that goeth in to his neighbour’s wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
New Living Translation
20 My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
21 Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck.
22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you.
23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life.
24 It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman.
25 Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you.
26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty,* but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.
27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire?
28 Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet?
29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished.
Bible-History
30 – [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
31 – But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
32 – [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
33 – A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34 – For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
35 – He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
New Living Translation
30 Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving.
31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house.
32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself.
33 He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased.
34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
35 He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.
