nkjv - Proverbs:5:3-22

nkjv@Proverbs:5:3 @ For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil;

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

nkjv@Proverbs:5:5 @ Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.

nkjv@Proverbs:5:6 @ Lest you ponder her path of life-- Her ways are unstable; You do not know them.

nkjv@Proverbs:5:7 @ Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

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

nkjv@Proverbs:5:9 @ Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;

nkjv@Proverbs:5:10 @ Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;

nkjv@Proverbs:5:11 @ And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed,

nkjv@Proverbs:5:12 @ And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!

nkjv@Proverbs:5:13 @ I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

nkjv@Proverbs:5:14 @ I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation."

nkjv@Proverbs:5:15 @ Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well.

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

nkjv@Proverbs:5:17 @ Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you.

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

nkjv@Proverbs:5:19 @ As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.

nkjv@Proverbs:5:20 @ For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?

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

nkjv@Proverbs:5:22 @ His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
