Proverbs 6: Warnings Against Folly. If you have put up security for your neighbor, shaken hands in a pledge with a stranger, or have been trapped by the words of your mouth than you are not to rest until you have freed yourself. We are called to be like ants, who have no ruler, but still stores up provisions during harvest. Ants work tirelessly, they are not lazy, and their lives are known for production. The Lord hates 6 things, 7 that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies, and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
God intends for us to live honorable lives. Our lives should be productive and we should be prepared always. God doesn't want anything to control us and urges us to free ourselves from worldly restraints. Our lives should be free from evil and we should be aware of who we allow in our lives because evil only leads to destruction. God warns us to live careful lives and to not be led into stupid mistakes.
