UKJV - Proverbs - 5

5:1  My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:

5:2  That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.

5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

5:4  But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

5:5  Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

5:6  Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.

5:7  Hear me now therefore, O all of you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

5:8  Remove your way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

5:9  Lest you give your honour unto others, and your years unto the cruel:

5:10  Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labours be in the house of a stranger;

5:11  And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

5:12  And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

5:13  And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

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

5:15  Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.

5:16  Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

5:17  Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you.

5:18  Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.

5:19  Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.

5:20  And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

5:21  For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his activities.

5:22  His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.

5:23  He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
