| Proverbs 5:1 | My son, give attention to my wisdom; let your ear be turned to my teaching: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:2 | So that you may be ruled by a wise purpose, and your lips may keep knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:3 | For honey is dropping from the lips of the strange woman, and her mouth is smoother than oil; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:4 | But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:5 | Her feet go down to death, and her steps to the underworld; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:6 | She never keeps her mind on the road of life; her ways are uncertain, she has no knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:7 | Give ear to me then, my sons, and do not put away my words from you. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:8 | Go far away from her, do not come near the door of her house; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:9 | For fear that you may give your honour to others, and your wealth to strange men: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:10 | And strange men may be full of your wealth, and the fruit of your work go to the house of others; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:11 | And you will be full of grief at the end of your life, when your flesh and your body are wasted; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:12 | And you will say, How was teaching hated by me, and my heart put no value on training; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:13 | I did not give attention to the voice of my teachers, my ear was not turned to those who were guiding me! | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:14 | I was in almost all evil in the company of the people. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:15 | Let water from your store and not that of others be your drink, and running water from your fountain. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:16 | Let not your springs be flowing in the streets, or your streams of water in the open places. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:17 | Let them be for yourself only, not for other men with you. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:18 | Let blessing be on your fountain; have joy in the wife of your early years. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:19 | As a loving hind and a gentle doe, let her breasts ever give you rapture; let your passion at all times be moved by her love. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:20 | Why let yourself, my son, go out of the way with a strange woman, and take another woman in your arms? | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:21 | For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he puts all his goings in the scales. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:22 | The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:23 | He will come to his end for need of teaching; he is so foolish that he will go wandering from the right way. | |||||||||||||||
