Pr 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Pr 5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Pr 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil:
Pr 5:4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Pr 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Pr 5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that
thou canst not know them.
Pr 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my
mouth.
Pr 5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Pr 5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Pr 5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the
house of a stranger;
Pr 5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
Pr 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Pr 5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to
them that instructed me!
Pr 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Pr 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine
own well.
Pr 5:16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the
streets.
Pr 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Pr 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Pr 5:19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy
thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Pr 5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace
the bosom of a stranger?
Pr 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth
all his goings.
Pr 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden
with the cords of his sins.
Pr 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he
shall go astray.
