Proverbs 5 Verses
1
|
My son, attend unto my wisdom; Incline thine ear to my understanding: |
2
|
That thou mayest preserve discretion, And that thy lips may keep knowledge. |
3
|
For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil: |
4
|
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. |
5
|
Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol; |
6
|
So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not. |
7
|
Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth. |
8
|
Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house; |
9
|
Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel; |
10
|
Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien, |
11
|
And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed, |
12
|
And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; |
13
|
Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! |
14
|
I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation. |
15
|
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. |
16
|
Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets? |
17
|
Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee. |
18
|
Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth. |
19
|
As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love. |
20
|
For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner? |
21
|
For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths. |
22
|
His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin. |
23
|
He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
