Proverbs 5

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31]

PROV 5:1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

PROV 5:2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

PROV 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, 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 hell.

PROV 5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

PROV 5:7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, 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 thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

PROV 5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

PROV 5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

PROV 5:13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

PROV 5:14 I was almost 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 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

PROV 5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

PROV 5:18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

PROV 5:19 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 love.

PROV 5:20 And why wilt 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 the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

PROV 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

PROV 5:23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
