Proverbs 5 Verses
1
|
My son, listen to my wisdom; bow your ear to my understanding; |
2
|
in order to keep discretion, that your lips may keep knowledge. |
3
|
For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is smoother than oil; |
4
|
but afterward she is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. |
5
|
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell, |
6
|
lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable; you cannot know them. |
7
|
And now hear me, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. |
8
|
Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near the door of her house, |
9
|
lest you give your honor to others and your years to the cruel; |
10
|
that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of a stranger; |
11
|
and you moan when your end comes, when your flesh and muscle are eaten away, |
12
|
and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction; |
13
|
and I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor bowed down my ears to those who taught me! |
14
|
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. |
15
|
Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well. |
16
|
Should your overflowing spring be scattered abroad as rivers of waters in the streets. |
17
|
Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you. |
18
|
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth. |
19
|
Like the loving deer and pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times, and be ravished always with her love. |
20
|
And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? |
21
|
For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and He watches all his paths. |
22
|
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin. |
23
|
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
