Proverbs 5 Verses
1
|
My son, be attentive to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding; |
2
|
that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge. |
3
|
For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech 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 follow the path to Sheol; |
6
|
she does not take heed to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it. |
7
|
And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. |
8
|
Keep 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 merciless; |
10
|
lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of an alien; |
11
|
and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed, |
12
|
and you say, "How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof! |
13
|
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. |
14
|
I was at the point of utter ruin in the assembled congregation." |
15
|
Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. |
16
|
Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets? |
17
|
Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you. |
18
|
Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, |
19
|
a lovely hind, a graceful doe. Let her affection fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love. |
20
|
Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress? |
21
|
For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he watches all his paths. |
22
|
The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is caught in the toils of his sin. |
23
|
He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is lost. |
