| Proverbs 5: (KJV) |
| 1) My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: |
| 2) That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. |
| 3) For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: |
| 4) But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. |
| 5) Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. |
| 6) Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. |
| 7) Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. |
| 8) Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: |
| 9) Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: |
| 10) Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; |
| 11) And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, |
| 12) And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; |
| 13) And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! |
| 14) I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. |
| 15) Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. |
| 16) Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. |
| 17) Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. |
| 18) Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. |
| 19) Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. |
| 20) And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? |
| 21) For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. |
| 22) His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. |
| 23) He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
