5:20. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 5:21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondered all his goings.

6:15 . Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
6:16 . These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
6:17 . A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
