Pitfalls of Immorality |
|
|
 |
| Proverbs 5:1 |
|
My son, give attention to my wisdom, Incline
your ear to my understanding; |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:2 |
|
That you may observe discretion And your lips
may reserve knowledge. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:3 |
|
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And
smoother than oil is her speech; |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:4 |
|
But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp
as a two-edged sword. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:5 |
|
Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold
of Sheol. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:6 |
|
She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways
are unstable, she does not know it. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:7 |
|
Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart
from the words of my mouth. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:8 |
|
Keep your way far from her And do not go near
the door of her house, |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:9 |
|
Or you will give your vigor to others And your
years to the cruel one; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:10 |
|
And strangers will be filled with your strength
And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:11 |
|
And you groan at your final end, When your flesh
and your body are consumed; |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:12 |
|
And you say, "How I have hated instruction!
And my heart spurned reproof! |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:13 |
|
"I have not listened to the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to my instructors! |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:14 |
|
"I was almost in utter ruin In the midst of
the assembly and congregation." |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:15 |
|
Drink water from your own cistern And fresh
water from your own well. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:16 |
|
Should your springs be dispersed abroad, Streams
of water in the streets? |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:17 |
|
Let them be yours alone And not for strangers
with you. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:18 |
|
Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in
the wife of your youth. |
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:19 |
|
As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her
breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love. |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:20 |
|
For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with
an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner? |
| |
|
|
| Proverbs 5:21 |
|
For the ways of a man are before the eyes of
the LORD, And He watches all his paths. |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:22 |
|
His own iniquities will capture the wicked,
And he will be held with the cords of his sin. |
|
|
|
|
| Proverbs 5:23 |
|
He will die for lack of instruction, And in
the greatness of his folly he will go astray. |
