# Proverbs 5
|
|||
|
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
|
|||
|
1. My son, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,
|
|||
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|||
|
2. that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.
|
|||
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|||
|
3. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil,
|
|||
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|||
|
4. but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
|
|||
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|||
|
5. Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;
|
|||
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|||
|
6. she does not ponder the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.
|
|||
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|||
|
7. And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
|
|||
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|||
|
8. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house,
|
|||
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|||
|
9. lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless,
|
|||
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|||
|
10. lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner,
|
|||
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|||
|
11. and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,
|
|||
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|||
|
12. and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!
|
|||
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|||
|
13. I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.
|
|||
|
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
|||
|
14. I am at the brink of utter ruin in the assembled congregation.”
|
|||
|
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
|||
|
15. Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
|
|||
|
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
|||
|
16. Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?
|
|||
|
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
|||
|
17. Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
|
|||
|
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
|||
|
18. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
|
|||
|
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
|||
|
19. a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight; be intoxicated always in her love.
|
|||
|
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
|||
|
20. Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
|
|||
|
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
|||
|
21. For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his paths.
|
|||
|
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
|||
|
22. The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
|
|||
|
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
|||
|
23. He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is led astray.
|
