1My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor, have given your pledge for a stranger,2if you are snared in the words of your mouth, caught in the words of your mouth,3then do this, my son, and save yourself, for you have come into the hand of your neighbor: go, hasten,* and plead urgently with your neighbor.4Give your eyes no sleep and your eyelids no slumber;5save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,* like a bird from the hand of the fowler.6Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise.7Without having any chief, officer, or ruler,8she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.9How long will you lie there, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,11and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.12A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech,13winks with his eyes, signals* with his feet, points with his finger,14with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord;15therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.16There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him:17haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,18a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,19a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Warnings Against Adultery
20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and forsake not your mother’s teaching.21Bind them on your heart always; tie them around your neck.22When you walk, they* will lead you; when you lie down, they will watch over you; and when you awake, they will talk with you.23For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,24to preserve you from the evil woman,* from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.*25Do not desire her beauty in your heart, and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;26for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,* but a married woman* hunts down a precious life.27Can a man carry fire next to his chest and his clothes not be burned?28Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?29So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; none who touches her will go unpunished.30People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,31but if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house.32He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.33He will get wounds and dishonor, and his disgrace will not be wiped away.34For jealousy makes a man furious, and he will not spare when he takes revenge.35He will accept no compensation; he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
La Biblia Textual
Contra la pereza y la falsedad
1Hijo mío, si has salido fiador por tu vecino, Dando la mano a un extraño,2Si te has enredado con tus palabras, Y has quedado atrapado con los dichos de tu boca,3Haz esto ahora hijo mío, y líbrate, Ya que has caído en la mano de tu prójimo: Ve, humíllate, e importuna a tu prójimo.4No concedas sueño a tus ojos, Ni adormecimiento a tus párpados.5Líbrate como gacela del cazador, O como pájaro de la trampa.6Observa a la hormiga, oh perezoso, Mira sus caminos, y sé sabio,7La cual no teniendo capitán, Ni gobernador, ni soberano,8Prepara en el verano su comida, Y en el tiempo de la siega guarda su sustento.9¿Hasta cuándo dormirás, oh perezoso? ¿Cuándo te levantarás de tu sueño?10Un rato duermes, otro dormitas, Un rato cruzas los brazos y descansas,11Y te llega la miseria del vagabundo, Y la indigencia del mendigo.12Hombre de Belial es el hombre inicuo, Que camina torciendo la boca,13Guiñando un ojo, meneando los pies, Señalando con el dedo.14En su corazón hay perversidades, Maquina maldades, y constantemente enciende rencillas.15Por tanto su calamidad vendrá de repente, Súbitamente será quebrantado, y no habrá remedio.16Seis cosas aborrece YHVH, Y aun siete abomina su alma:17Ojos altivos, lengua mentirosa, Manos que derraman sangre inocente,18Corazón que maquina planes perversos, Pies presurosos para correr al mal,19Testigo falso que habla mentiras, Y el que enciende rencillas entre sus hermanos.20Hijo mío, guarda el mandamiento de tu padre, Y no abandones la enseñanza de tu madre.21Átalos siempre a tu corazón, Enlázalos en torno a tu cuello.22Cuando camines, te guiarán, Cuando descanses, te guardarán, Y al despertar hablarán contigo.23Porque el mandamiento es lámpara Y la enseñanza luz, Y camino de vida la reprensión que corrige.24Te guardarán de la mala mujer, De la blandura de la lengua de la mujer ajena.25No codicies en tu corazón su hermosura, Ni te dejes prender por su mirada,26Porque si la ramera va en busca de un trozo de pan, La adúltera va a la caza de una vida preciosa.27¿Tomará el hombre fuego en su seno, Sin que sus vestidos ardan?28¿Andará el hombre sobre las brasas, Sin que sus pies se quemen?29Así será con el que se llega a la mujer de su prójimo, Ninguno que la toque quedará impune.30¿No se infama el ladrón cuando hurta, Aun para llenar su estómago cuando pasa hambre,31Y si es sorprendido, tiene que pagar siete veces, Y entregar todo el haber de su casa?32Pues el adúltero es hombre sin cordura, Destructor de sí mismo es el que tal hace.33Llaga vergonzosa hallará, Y su infamia nunca será borrada.34Porque los celos son la ira del hombre, En el día de la venganza no perdonará,35Ni considerará rescate alguno; No querrá perdonar aunque aumentes el soborno.
