Proverbs 5:1--7:27

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)_.

My son
<01121>_,

if thou be surety
<06148> (8804)

for thy friend
<07453>_,

[if] thou hast stricken
<08628> (8804)

thy hand
<03709>

with a stranger
<02114> (8801)_,

Thou art snared
<03369> (8738)

with the words
<0561>

of thy mouth
<06310>_,

thou art taken
<03920> (8738)

with the words
<0561>

of thy mouth
<06310>_.

Do
<06213> (8798)

this now
<0645>_,

my son
<01121>_,

and deliver
<05337> (8734)

thyself, when thou art come
<0935> (8804)

into the hand
<03709>

of thy friend
<07453>_;

go
<03212> (8798)_,

humble
<07511> (8690)

thyself, and make sure
<07292> (8798)

thy friend
<07453>_.

{and make...: or, so shalt thou prevail with thy friend}

Give
<05414> (8799)

not sleep
<08142>

to thine eyes
<05869>_,

nor slumber
<08572>

to thine eyelids
<06079>_.

Deliver
<05337> (8734)

thyself as a roe
<06643>

from the hand
<03027>

[of the hunter], and as a bird
<06833>

from the hand
<03027>

of the fowler
<03353>_.

Go
<03212> (8798)

to the ant
<05244>_,

thou sluggard
<06102>_;

consider
<07200> (8798)

her ways
<01870>_,

and be wise
<02449> (8798)_:

Which having no guide
<07101>_,

overseer
<07860> (8802)_,

or ruler
<04910> (8802)_,

Provideth
<03559> (8686)

her meat
<03899>

in the summer
<07019>_,

[and] gathereth
<0103> (8804)

her food
<03978>

in the harvest
<07105>_.

How long wilt thou sleep
<07901> (8799)_,

O sluggard
<06102>_?

when wilt thou arise
<06965> (8799)

out of thy sleep
<08142>_?

[Yet] a little
<04592>

sleep
<08142>_,

a little
<04592>

slumber
<08572>_,

a little
<04592>

folding
<02264>

of the hands
<03027>

to sleep
<07901> (8800)_:

So shall thy poverty
<07389>

come
<0935> (8804)

as one that travelleth
<01980> (8764)_,

and thy want
<04270>

as an armed
<04043>

man
<0376>_.

A naughty
<01100>

person
<0120>_,

a wicked
<0205>

man
<0376>_,

walketh
<01980> (8802)

with a froward
<06143>

mouth
<06310>_.

He winketh
<07169> (8802)

with his eyes
<05869>_,

he speaketh
<04448> (8802)

with his feet
<07272>_,

he teacheth
<03384> (8688)

with his fingers
<0676>_;

Frowardness
<08419>

[is] in his heart
<03820>_,

he deviseth
<02790> (8802)

mischief
<07451>

continually
<06256>_;

he soweth
<07971> (8762)

discord
<04066> (8675) <04090>_.

{soweth: Heb. casteth forth}

Therefore shall his calamity
<0343>

come
<0935> (8799)

suddenly
<06597>_;

suddenly
<06621>

shall he be broken
<07665> (8735)

without remedy
<04832>_.

These six
<08337>

[things] doth the LORD
<03068>

hate
<08130> (8804)_:

yea, seven
<07651>

[are] an abomination
<08441>

unto him
<05315>_:

{unto...: Heb. of his soul}

A proud
<07311> (8802)

look
<05869>_,

a lying
<08267>

tongue
<03956>_,

and hands
<03027>

that shed
<08210> (8802)

innocent
<05355>

blood
<01818>_,

{A proud...: Heb. Haughty eyes}

An heart
<03820>

that deviseth
<02790> (8802)

wicked
<0205>

imaginations
<04284>_,

feet
<07272>

that be swift
<04116> (8764)

in running
<07323> (8800)

to mischief
<07451>_,

A false
<08267>

witness
<05707>

[that] speaketh
<06315> (8686)

lies
<03577>_,

and he that soweth
<07971> (8764)

discord
<04090>

among brethren
<0251>_.

My son
<01121>_,

keep
<05341> (8798)

thy father's
<01>

commandment
<04687>_,

and forsake
<05203> (8799)

not the law
<08451>

of thy mother
<0517>_:

Bind
<07194> (8798)

them continually
<08548>

upon thine heart
<03820>_,

[and] tie
<06029> (8798)

them about thy neck
<01621>_.

When thou goest
<01980> (8692)_,

it shall lead
<05148> (8686)

thee; when thou sleepest
<07901> (8800)_,

it shall keep
<08104> (8799)

thee; and [when] thou awakest
<06974> (8689)_,

it shall talk
<07878> (8799)

with thee.

For the commandment
<04687>

[is] a lamp
<05216>_;

and the law
<08451>

[is] light
<0216>_;

and reproofs
<08433>

of instruction
<04148>

[are] the way
<01870>

of life
<02416>_:

{lamp: or, candle}

To keep
<08104> (8800)

thee from the evil
<07451>

woman
<0802>_,

from the flattery
<02513>

of the tongue
<03956>

of a strange woman
<05237>_.

{of the...: or, of the strange tongue}

Lust
<02530> (8799)

not after her beauty
<03308>

in thine heart
<03824>_;

neither let her take
<03947> (8799)

thee with her eyelids
<06079>_.

For by means of
<01157>

a whorish
<02181> (8802)

woman
<0802>

[a man is brought] to a piece
<03603>

of bread
<03899>_:

and the adulteress
<0802> <0376>

will hunt
<06679> (8799)

for the precious
<03368>

life
<05315>_.

{the adulteress: Heb. the woman of a man, or, a man's wife}

Can a man
<0376>

take
<02846> (8799)

fire
<0784>

in his bosom
<02436>_,

and his clothes
<0899>

not be burned
<08313> (8735)_?

Can one
<0376>

go
<01980> (8762)

upon hot coals
<01513>_,

and his feet
<07272>

not be burned
<03554> (8735)_?

So he that goeth in
<0935> (8802)

to his neighbour's
<07453>

wife
<0802>_;

whosoever toucheth
<05060> (8802)

her shall not be innocent
<05352> (8735)_.

[Men] do not despise
<0936> (8799)

a thief
<01590>_,

if he steal
<01589> (8799)

to satisfy
<04390> (8763)

his soul
<05315>

when he is hungry
<07456> (8799)_;

But [if] he be found
<04672> (8738)_,

he shall restore
<07999> (8762)

sevenfold
<07659>_;

he shall give
<05414> (8799)

all the substance
<01952>

of his house
<01004>_.

[But] whoso committeth adultery
<05003> (8802)

with a woman
<0802>

lacketh
<02638>

understanding
<03820>_:

he [that] doeth
<06213> (8799)

it destroyeth
<07843> (8688)

his own soul
<05315>_.

{understanding: Heb. heart}

A wound
<05061>

and dishonour
<07036>

shall he get
<04672> (8799)_;

and his reproach
<02781>

shall not be wiped away
<04229> (8735)_.

For jealousy
<07068>

[is] the rage
<02534>

of a man
<01397>_:

therefore he will not spare
<02550> (8799)

in the day
<03117>

of vengeance
<05359>_.

He will not regard
<05375> (8799) <06440>

any ransom
<03724>_;

neither will he rest content
<014> (8799)_,

though thou givest many
<07235> (8686)

gifts
<07810>_.

{He will...: Heb. He will not accept the face of any ransom}

My son
<01121>_,

keep
<08104> (8798)

my words
<0561>_,

and lay up
<06845> (8799)

my commandments
<04687>

with thee.

Keep
<08104> (8798)

my commandments
<04687>_,

and live
<02421> (8798)_;

and my law
<08451>

as the apple
<0380>

of thine eye
<05869>_.

Bind
<07194> (8798)

them upon thy fingers
<0676>_,

write
<03789> (8798)

them upon the table
<03871>

of thine heart
<03820>_.

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto wisdom
<02451>_,

Thou [art] my sister
<0269>_;

and call
<07121> (8799)

understanding
<0998>

[thy] kinswoman
<04129>_:

That they may keep
<08104> (8800)

thee from the strange
<02114> (8801)

woman
<0802>_,

from the stranger
<05237>

[which] flattereth
<02505> (8689)

with her words
<0561>_.

For at the window
<02474>

of my house
<01004>

I looked
<08259> (8738)

through my casement
<0822>_,

And beheld
<07200> (8799)

among the simple ones
<06612>_,

I discerned
<0995> (8799)

among the youths
<01121>_,

a young man
<05288>

void
<02638>

of understanding
<03820>_,

{the youths: Heb. the sons}

Passing through
<05674> (8802)

the street
<07784>

near
<0681>

her corner
<06434>_;

and he went
<06805> (8799)

the way
<01870>

to her house
<01004>_,

In the twilight
<05399>_,

in the evening
<03117> <06153>_,

in the black
<0380>

and dark
<0653>

night
<03915>_:

{in the evening: Heb. in the evening of days}

And, behold, there met
<07125> (8800)

him a woman
<0802>

[with] the attire
<07897>

of an harlot
<02181> (8802)_,

and subtil
<05341> (8803)

of heart
<03820>_.

(She [is] loud
<01993> (8802)

and stubborn
<05637> (8802)_;

her feet
<07272>

abide
<07931> (8799)

not in her house
<01004>_:

Now
<06471>

[is she] without
<02351>_,

now
<06471>

in the streets
<07339>_,

and lieth in wait
<0693> (8799)

at
<0681>

every corner
<06438>.)

So she caught
<02388> (8689)

him, and kissed
<05401> (8804)

him, [and] with an impudent
<05810> (8689)

face
<06440>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, {with...: Heb. she strengthened her face and said}

[I have] peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>

with me; this day
<03117>

have I payed
<07999> (8765)

my vows
<05088>_.

{I have...: Heb. Peace offerings are upon me}

Therefore came I forth
<03318> (8804)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

thee, diligently to seek
<07836> (8763)

thy face
<06440>_,

and I have found
<04672> (8799)

thee.

I have decked
<07234> (8804)

my bed
<06210>

with coverings
<04765>

of tapestry, with carved
<02405>

[works], with fine linen
<0330>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

I have perfumed
<05130> (8804)

my bed
<04904>

with myrrh
<04753>_,

aloes
<0174>_,

and cinnamon
<07076>_.

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

let us take our fill
<07301> (8799)

of love
<01730>

until the morning
<01242>_:

let us solace
<05965> (8691)

ourselves with loves
<0159>_.

For the goodman
<0376>

[is] not at home
<01004>_,

he is gone
<01980> (8804)

a long
<07350>

journey
<01870>_:

He hath taken
<03947> (8804)

a bag
<06872>

of money
<03701>

with him
<03027>_,

[and] will come
<0935> (8799)

home
<01004>

at the day
<03117>

appointed
<03677>_.

{with...: Heb. in his hand} {the day...: or, the new moon}

With her much
<07230>

fair speech
<03948>

she caused him to yield
<05186> (8689)_,

with the flattering
<02506>

of her lips
<08193>

she forced
<05080> (8686)

him.

He goeth
<01980> (8802)

after
<0310>

her straightway
<06597>_,

as an ox
<07794>

goeth
<0935> (8799)

to the slaughter
<02874>_,

or as a fool
<0191>

to the correction
<04148>

of the stocks
<05914>_;

{straightway: Heb. suddenly}

Till a dart
<02671>

strike
<06398> (8762)

through his liver
<03516>_;

as a bird
