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