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 her latter end 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 {cf15i and} she knoweth {cf15i it} not. |
7
|
Now therefore, {cf15i 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 honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: |
10
|
Lest strangers be filled with thy strength; and thy labours {cf15i 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 congregation and assembly. |
15
|
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. |
16
|
Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, and rivers 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
|
{cf15i 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 stranger? |
21
|
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, 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. |
