| Proverbs 5:1 | My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding: | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:2 | That you may maintain discretion, That your lips may preserve knowledge. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:3 | For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:4 | But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:5 | Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:6 | She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:7 | Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:8 | Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:9 | Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:10 | Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man's house. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:11 | You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed, | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:12 | And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:13 | Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me! | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:14 | I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly." | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:15 | Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:16 | Should your springs overflow in the streets, Streams of water in the public squares? | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:17 | Let them be for yourself alone, Not for strangers with you. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:18 | Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:19 | A loving hind and a pleasant doe Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:20 | For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another? | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:21 | For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:22 | The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly. | |||||||||||||||
| Proverbs 5:23 | He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray. | |||||||||||||||
