Proverbs 5 Warning against Immorality 5:1 My Child, listen to My Wisdom; bow Your ear to my Understanding; 5:2 in order to keep discretion, that Your lips may keep Knowledge. 5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drip honey and her palate is smoother than oil; 5:4 but afterward she is as 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 meditate on the path of Life, her tracks are movable; You cannot know them. 5:7 And now hear Me, O Child, and do not depart from the Words of My mouth. 5:8 Remove Your ways far from her, and do not come near the door of her house, 5:9 lest You give Your Honor to others and Your years to the cruel; 5:10 that strangers not be filled with Your Strength, and Your labors be in the house of a stranger; 5:11 and You moan when Your end comes, when Your flesh and muscle are eaten away, 5:12 and say, How I have hated Instruction, and My Heart despised Correction; 5:13 and I have not Obeyed the voice of My teachers, nor Bowed down my ears to those who taught 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 Should Your overflowing spring be scattered abroad as 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 Like the loving deer and pleasant doe, let her breasts satisfy You at all times, and be ravished always with her Love. 5:20 And why will You, My Child, 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 JEHOVAH, and He watches all his paths. 5:22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sin. 5:23 He shall die without Instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
