Pro 5:1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; stretch your ear to my understanding;
Pro 5:2 so that you may keep judgment, and your lips may keep knowledge.
Pro 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drip honey, and her palate is sweeter than oil,
Pro 5:4 but afterwards, she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a sword of mouths;
Pro 5:5 her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell,
Pro 5:6 lest you should meditate on the path of life, her tracks are movable, you cannot know them.
Pro 5:7 Then hear me now, O sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
Pro 5:8 Remove your ways far from her, and do not come near to the door of her house,
Pro 5:9 lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel;
Pro 5:10 that strangers not be filled with your strength, and your labors be in the house of an alien,
Pro 5:11 and you moan when your end comes, when your flesh and muscle are eaten away;
Pro 5:12 and say, How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised correction;
Pro 5:13 and I have not heard the voice of my teachers, nor stretched my ear to those instructing me.
Pro 5:14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Pro 5:15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
Pro 5:16 Should your overflowing springs be scattered outside, like rivers of waters in the streets?
Pro 5:17 Let them be only your own, and not to strangers with you;
Pro 5:18 let your fountains be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth;
Pro 5:19 she is a loving deer, a graceful doe; let her breasts satisfy you every time, and always be ravished in her love.
Pro 5:20 And my son, why will you be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace a foreigner’s bosom?
Pro 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and He ponders all his tracks.
Pro 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
Pro 5:23 He shall die without instruction, and in the greatness of his foolishness he shall go astray.
Pro 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.
