Proverbs 5
- 1 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,
- 2 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.
-
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil
is her mouth, -
4 And her latter end
is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword with mouths. - 5 Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.
- 6 The path of life--lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths--thou knowest not.
- 7 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.
- 8 Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,
- 9 Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,
-
10 Lest strangers be filled
with thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger, - 11 And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,
- 12 And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,
- 13 And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.
- 14 As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.
- 15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.
- 16 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.
- 17 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.
- 18 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,
- 19 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.
- 20 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
- 21 For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.
- 22 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.
- 23 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
