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