Proverbs 5 Verses
1
|
My child, be attentive to my wisdom, pay close attention to my understanding, |
2
|
in order to safeguard discretion, and that your lips may guard knowledge. |
3
|
For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her seductive words are smoother than olive 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 lead straight to the grave. |
6
|
Lest she should make level the path leading to life, her paths are unstable but she does not know it. |
7
|
So now, children, listen to me; do not turn aside from the words I speak. |
8
|
Keep yourself far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, |
9
|
lest you give your vigor to others and your years to a cruel person, |
10
|
lest strangers devour your strength, and your labor benefit another man's house. |
11
|
And at the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are wasted away. |
12
|
And you will say, "How I hated discipline! My heart spurned reproof! |
13
|
For I did not obey my teachers and I did not heed my instructors. |
14
|
I almost came to complete ruin in the midst of the whole congregation!" |
15
|
Drink water from your own cistern and running water from your own well. |
16
|
Should your springs be dispersed outside, your streams of water in the wide plazas? |
17
|
Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. |
18
|
May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in your young wife— |
19
|
a loving doe, a graceful deer; may her breasts satisfy you at all times, may you be captivated by her love always. |
20
|
But why should you be captivated, my son, by an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of a different woman? |
21
|
For the ways of a person are in front of the LORD's eyes, and the LORD weighs all that person's paths. |
22
|
The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities, and he will be held by the cords of his own sin. |
23
|
He will die because there was no discipline; because of the greatness of his folly he will reel. |
