Proverbs 6:1-19

Teachings on dealing with other men. Specifically, avoid pledging for a loan, avoid sluggards (observe the ant), avoid the “worthless person,” and seven things the Lord hates.
v.1-5 Don’t (rashly) make a pledge for a stranger’s loan. If you do, go to great lengths to extricate yourself from the danger.
v.6-11 Study the ants behavior and avoid laziness. Adopt a hardworking lifestyle like the ant who gathers food during the harvest (i.e. plan ahead). The result of a lazy lifestyle is poverty.
v.12-15 Warning to avoid the way of a worthless person (their heart is bent on evil). Calamity will come on him suddenly for his wicked ways.
v.16-19 A numerical proverb describing seven things that are an abomination to the Lord. (1) Haughty eyes, (2) a lying tongue, (3) hands that shed innocent blood, (4) a heart that devises wicked plans, (5) feet that make haste to run to evil, (6) a false witness who breathes out lies, and (7) one who sows discord among brothers.

Take Solomon's advice and plan ahead for profit; then work hard like the ant. Avoid family squabbles and don't take revenge.
