nasb@Proverbs:5:1 @My son, give attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding;

nasb@Proverbs:5:2 @That you may observe discretion And your lips may reserve knowledge.

nasb@Proverbs:5:3 @For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And smoother than oil is her speech;

nasb@Proverbs:5:4 @But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

nasb@Proverbs:5:5 @Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol.

nasb@Proverbs:5:6 @She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

nasb@Proverbs:5:7 @Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

nasb@Proverbs:5:8 @Keep your way far from her And do not go near the door of her house,

nasb@Proverbs:5:9 @Or you will give your vigor to others And your years to the cruel one;

nasb@Proverbs:5:10 @And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien;

nasb@Proverbs:5:11 @And you groan at your final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;

nasb@Proverbs:5:12 @And you say, "How I have hated instruction! And my heart spurned reproof!

nasb@Proverbs:5:13" @I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!

nasb@Proverbs:5:14" @I was almost in utter ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation."

nasb@Proverbs:5:15 @Drink water from your own cistern And fresh water from your own well.

nasb@Proverbs:5:16 @Should your springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?

nasb@Proverbs:5:17 @Let them be yours alone And not for strangers with you.

nasb@Proverbs:5:18 @Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

nasb@Proverbs:5:19 @As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.

nasb@Proverbs:5:20 @For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

nasb@Proverbs:5:21 @For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He watches all his paths.

nasb@Proverbs:5:22 @His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

nasb@Proverbs:5:23 @He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.
