Proverbs 5




lesserot@Proverbs:5:1 @ My son, attend unto my wisdom; to my understanding incline thou thy ear:

lesserot@Proverbs:5:2 @ That thou mayest observe discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:3 @ For as of fine honey drop the lips of an adulterous woman, and smoother than oil is her palate;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:4 @ But her end is bitter as wormwood, it is sharp as a two–edged sword.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:5 @ Her feet go down to death, her steps take firm hold on the nether world:

lesserot@Proverbs:5:6 @ So that she cannot balance the path of life; her tracks are unsteady, and she knoweth it not.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:7 @ And now, O ye children, hearken unto me, and depart not from the sayings of my mouth.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:8 @ Remove far from her thy way, and come not nigh to the door of her house;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:9 @ That thou mayest not give up unto others thy vigor, and thy years unto the cruel;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:10 @ That strangers may not satisfy themselves with thy strength, and with thy exertions, in the house of an alien:

lesserot@Proverbs:5:11 @ While thou moanest at thy end, when thy flesh and thy body are coming to their end,

lesserot@Proverbs:5:12 @ And thou sayest, How have I hated correction, and how hath my heart rejected reproof;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:13 @ While I hearkened not to the voice of my instructors, and to my teachers I inclined not my ear;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:14 @ But little more was wanting, and I had been in all unhappiness in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:15 @ Drink water out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:16 @ So will thy springs overflow abroad; and in the open streets will be thy rivulets of water;

lesserot@Proverbs:5:17 @ They will be thy own only, and not those of strangers with thee.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:18 @ Thy fountain will be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth,––

lesserot@Proverbs:5:19 @ The lovely gazelle and the graceful chamois: let her bosom satisfy thee abundantly at all times; with her love be thou ravished continually.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:20 @ And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with an adulteress, and embrace the bosom of an alien woman?

lesserot@Proverbs:5:21 @ For before the eyes of the Lord are the ways of man, and all his tracks doth he weigh in the balance.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:22 @ His own iniquities will truly catch the wicked, and with the cords of his sin will he be held firmly.

lesserot@Proverbs:5:23 @ He will indeed die for want of correction; and through the abundance of his folly will he sink into error.
