Proverbs 5:1-23

My son
<01121>_,
attend
<07181> (8685)
unto my wisdom
<02451>_,
[and] bow
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>
to my understanding
<08394>_:
That thou mayest regard
<08104> (8800)
discretion
<04209>_,
and [that] thy lips
<08193>
may keep
<05341> (8799)
knowledge
<01847>_.
For the lips
<08193>
of a strange woman
<02114> (8801)
drop
<05197> (8799)
[as] an honeycomb
<05317>_,
and her mouth
<02441>
[is] smoother
<02509>
than oil
<08081>_:
{mouth: Heb. palate}
But her end
<0319>
is bitter
<04751>
as wormwood
<03939>_,
sharp
<02299>
as a twoedged
<06310>
sword
<02719>_.
Her feet
<07272>
go down
<03381> (8802)
to death
<04194>_;
her steps
<06806>
take hold
<08551> (8799)
on hell
<07585>_.
Lest thou shouldest ponder
<06424> (8762)
the path
<0734>
of life
<02416>_,
her ways
<04570>
are moveable
<05128> (8804)_,
[that] thou canst not know
<03045> (8799)
[them].
Hear
<08085> (8798)
me now therefore, O ye children
<01121>_,
and depart
<05493> (8799)
not from the words
<0561>
of my mouth
<06310>_.
Remove
<07368> (0)
thy way
<01870>
far
<07368> (8685)
from her, and come not nigh
<07126> (8799)
the door
<06607>
of her house
<01004>_:
Lest thou give
<05414> (8799)
thine honour
<01935>
unto others
<0312>_,
and thy years
<08141>
unto the cruel
<0394>_:
Lest strangers
<02114> (8801)
be filled
<07646> (8799)
with thy wealth
<03581>_;
and thy labours
<06089>
[be] in the house
<01004>
of a stranger
<05237>_;
{thy wealth: Heb. thy strength}
And thou mourn
<05098> (8804)
at the last
<0319>_,
when thy flesh
<01320>
and thy body
<07607>
are consumed
<03615> (8800)_,
And say
<0559> (8804)_,
How have I hated
<08130> (8804)
instruction
<04148>_,
and my heart
<03820>
despised
<05006> (8804)
reproof
<08433>_;
And have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of my teachers
<03384> (8688)_,
nor inclined
<05186> (8689)
mine ear
<0241>
to them that instructed
<03925> (8764)
me!
I was almost
<04592>
in all evil
<07451>
in the midst
<08432>
of the congregation
<06951>
and assembly
<05712>_.
Drink
<08354> (8798)
waters
<04325>
out of thine own cistern
<0953>_,
and running waters
<05140> (8802)
out of
<08432>
thine own well
<0875>_.
Let thy fountains
<04599>
be dispersed
<06327> (8799)
abroad
<02351>_,
[and] rivers
<06388>
of waters
<04325>
in the streets
<07339>_.
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers
<02114> (8801)_'
with thee.
Let thy fountain
<04726>
be blessed
<01288> (8803)_:
and rejoice
<08055> (8798)
with the wife
<0802>
of thy youth
<05271>_.
[Let her be as] the loving
<0158>
hind
<0365>
and pleasant
<02580>
roe
<03280>_;
let her breasts
<01717>
satisfy
<07301> (8762)
thee at all times
<06256>_;
and be thou ravished
<07686> (8799)
always
<08548>
with her love
<0160>_.
{satisfy...: Heb. water thee} {be thou...: Heb. err thou always in her love}
And why wilt thou, my son
<01121>_,
be ravished
<07686> (8799)
with a strange woman
<02114> (8801)_,
and embrace
<02263> (8762)
the bosom
<02436>
of a stranger
<05237>_?
For the ways
<01870>
of man
<0376>
[are] before
<05227>
the eyes
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and he pondereth
<06424> (8764)
all his goings
<04570>_.
His own iniquities
<05771>
shall take
<03920> (8799)
the wicked
<07563>
himself, and he shall be holden
<08551> (8735)
with the cords
<02256>
of his sins
<02403>_.
{sins: Heb. sin}
He shall die
<04191> (8799)
without instruction
<04148>_;
and in the greatness
<07230>
of his folly
<0200>
he shall go astray
<07686> (8799)_.
