PROV 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, incline thine ear to my understanding;
PROV 5:2 that thou mayest keep reflection, and that thy lips may preserve knowledge.
PROV 5:3 For the lips of the strange woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
PROV 5:4 but her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
PROV 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on Sheol.
PROV 5:6 Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not [whither].
PROV 5:7 And now, children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
PROV 5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
PROV 5:9 lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;
PROV 5:10 lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil [come] into the house of a stranger;
PROV 5:11 and thou mourn in thine end, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed;
PROV 5:12 and thou say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof!
PROV 5:13 and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;
PROV 5:14 I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
PROV 5:15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
PROV 5:16 Thy fountains shall be poured forth, as water-brooks in the broadways.
PROV 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
PROV 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth.
PROV 5:19 As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished continually with her love.
PROV 5:20 And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
PROV 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and he pondereth all his paths.
PROV 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.
PROV 5:23 He shall die for want of discipline; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
