acv@Proverbs:5:1 @ My son, attend to my wisdom. Incline thine ear to my understanding,

acv@Proverbs:5:2 @ that thou may preserve discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

acv@Proverbs:5:3 @ For the lips of an interloping woman drop honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil.

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

acv@Proverbs:5:13 @ Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

acv@Proverbs:5:14 @ I was almost in all evil in the midst of the assembly and congregation.

acv@Proverbs:5:15 @ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

acv@Proverbs:5:18 @ Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of thy youth:

acv@Proverbs:5:19 @ a loving hind and a pleasant doe. Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.

acv@Proverbs:5:20 @ For why should thou, my son, be ravished with an interloping woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

acv@Proverbs:5:21 @ For the ways of man are before the eyes of LORD, and he makes level all his paths.

acv@Proverbs:5:22 @ His own iniquities shall take a wicked man, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin.

acv@Proverbs:6:8 @ provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.

acv@Proverbs:6:9 @ How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?

acv@Proverbs:6:10 @ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,

acv@Proverbs:6:11 @ so thy poverty shall come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.

acv@Proverbs:6:12 @ A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,

acv@Proverbs:6:25 @ Do not lust after her beauty in thy heart, nor let her take thee with her eyelids.

acv@Proverbs:6:26 @ For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life.

acv@Proverbs:7:7 @ and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding

acv@Proverbs:7:8 @ passing through the street near her corner. And he went the way to her house,

acv@Proverbs:7:20 @ He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.

acv@Proverbs:7:21 @ With her much fair speech she causes him to yield. With the flattering of her lips she forces him along.
