Proverbs 5 Verses
1
|
My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding, |
2
|
That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge. |
3
|
For the lips of an immoral woman drip 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 lay hold of hell. |
6
|
Lest you ponder [her] path of life -- Her ways are unstable; You do not know [them.] |
7
|
Therefore hear me now, [my] children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth. |
8
|
Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house, |
9
|
Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel [one;] |
10
|
Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors [go] to the house of a foreigner; |
11
|
And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed, |
12
|
And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction! |
13
|
I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me! |
14
|
I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation." |
15
|
Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. |
16
|
Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? |
17
|
Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. |
18
|
Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. |
19
|
[As a] loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love. |
20
|
For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? |
21
|
For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths. |
22
|
His own iniquities entrap the wicked [man,] And he is caught in the cords of his sin. |
23
|
He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
