Daily Bread

¹² A troublemaker and a villain,
    who goes about with a corrupt mouth,
¹³     who winks maliciously with his eye,^(A)
    signals with his feet
    and motions with his fingers,^(B)
14     who plots evil^(C) with deceit in his heart—
    he always stirs up conflict.^(D)
15 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant;^(E)
    he will suddenly^(F) be destroyed—without remedy.^(G)

¹⁶ There are six things the Lord hates,^(H)
    seven that are detestable to him:
¹⁷         haughty eyes,^(I)
        a lying tongue,^(J)
        hands that shed innocent blood,^(K)
18         a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,^(L)
19         a false witness^(M) who pours out lies^(N)
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.^(O)

²⁵ Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
    or let her captivate you with her eyes.

²⁶ For a prostitute can be had for a loaf of bread,
    but another man’s wife preys on your very life.^(V)
27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap
    without his clothes being burned?
²⁸ Can a man walk on hot coals
    without his feet being scorched?
²⁹ So is he who sleeps^(W) with another man’s wife;^(X)
    no one who touches her will go unpunished.

³⁰ People do not despise a thief if he steals
    to satisfy his hunger when he is starving.
³¹ Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold,^(Y)
    though it costs him all the wealth of his house.
³² But a man who commits adultery^(Z) has no sense;^(AA)
    whoever does so destroys himself.
³³ Blows and disgrace are his lot,
    and his shame will never^(AB) be wiped away.

³⁴ For jealousy^(AC) arouses a husband’s fury,^(AD)
    and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge.
³⁵ He will not accept any compensation;
    he will refuse a bribe, however great it is.^(AE)
