Proverbs 5

1

My sonh1121, attendh7181h8685 unto my wisdomh2451, and bowh5186h8685 thine earh241 to my understandingh8394:

2

That thou mayest regardh8104h8800 discretionh4209, and that thy lipsh8193 may keeph5341h8799 knowledgeh1847.

3

For the lipsh8193 of a strange womanh2114h8801 droph5197h8799 as an honeycombh5317, and her mouthh2441 is smootherh2509 than oilh8081: mouth: Heb. palate

4

But her endh319 is bitterh4751 as wormwoodh3939, sharph2299 as a twoedgedh6310 swordh2719.

5

Her feeth7272 go downh3381h8802 to deathh4194; her stepsh6806 take holdh8551h8799 on hellh7585.

6

Lest thou shouldest ponderh6424h8762 the pathh734 of lifeh2416, her waysh4570 are moveableh5128h8804, that thou canst not knowh3045h8799 them .

7

Hearh8085h8798 me now therefore, O ye childrenh1121, and departh5493h8799 not from the wordsh561 of my mouthh6310.

8

Removeh7368 thy wayh1870 farh7368h8685 from her, and come not nighh7126h8799 the doorh6607 of her househ1004:

9

Lest thou giveh5414h8799 thine honourh1935 unto othersh312, and thy yearsh8141 unto the cruelh394:

10

Lest strangersh2114h8801 be filledh7646h8799 with thy wealthh3581; and thy laboursh6089 be in the househ1004 of a strangerh5237; thy wealth: Heb. thy strength

11

And thou mournh5098h8804 at the lasth319, when thy fleshh1320 and thy bodyh7607 are consumedh3615h8800,

12

And sayh559h8804, How have I hatedh8130h8804 instructionh4148, and my hearth3820 despisedh5006h8804 reproofh8433;

13

And have not obeyedh8085h8804 the voiceh6963 of my teachersh3384h8688, nor inclinedh5186h8689 mine earh241 to them that instructedh3925h8764 me!

14

I was almosth4592 in all evilh7451 in the midsth8432 of the congregationh6951 and assemblyh5712.

15

Drinkh8354h8798 watersh4325 out of thine own cisternh953, and running watersh5140h8802 out ofh8432 thine own wellh875.

16

Let thy fountainsh4599 be dispersedh6327h8799 abroadh2351, and riversh6388 of watersh4325 in the streetsh7339.

17

Let them be only thine own, and not strangersh2114h8801' with thee.

18

Let thy fountainh4726 be blessedh1288h8803: and rejoiceh8055h8798 with the wifeh802 of thy youthh5271.

19

Let her be as the lovingh158 hindh365 and pleasanth2580 roeh3280; let her breastsh1717 satisfyh7301h8762 thee at all timesh6256; and be thou ravishedh7686h8799 alwaysh8548 with her loveh160. satisfy...: Heb. water thee
be thou...: Heb. err thou always in her love

20

And why wilt thou, my sonh1121, be ravishedh7686h8799 with a strange womanh2114h8801, and embraceh2263h8762 the bosomh2436 of a strangerh5237?

21

For the waysh1870 of manh376 are beforeh5227 the eyesh5869 of the LORDh3068, and he ponderethh6424h8764 all his goingsh4570.

22

His own iniquitiesh5771 shall takeh3920h8799 the wickedh7563 himself, and he shall be holdenh8551h8735 with the cordsh2256 of his sinsh2403. sins: Heb. sin

23

He shall dieh4191h8799 without instructionh4148; and in the greatnessh7230 of his follyh200 he shall go astrayh7686h8799.
