Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.
O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.
2 That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
For honey they drip [the] lips of a strange [woman] and [is] smooth more than oil mouth her.
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
And end her [is] bitter like wormwood sharp like a sword of mouths.
Feet her [are] going down death Sheol steps her they will attain. (Sheol h7585)
6 They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
[the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.
7 Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
And therefore O children listen to me and may not you depart from [the] utterances of mouth my.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
Make far away from with her way your and may not you draw near to [the] entrance of house her.
9 Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.
Lest you should give to others vigor your and years your to a cruel [person].
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,
Lest they should be satisfied strangers strength your and labor your [be] in [the] house of a foreigner.
11 And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters?
And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.
14 I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:
Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.
16 Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.
Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.
17 Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.
Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.
18 Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:
May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.
19 Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.
A doe of loves and a goat of grace breasts her may they satisfy you at every time by love her may you be intoxicated continually.
20 Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another?
And why? will you go astray O son my with a strange [woman] may you embrace? [the] bosom of a foreign [woman].
21 The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.
For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.
22 His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.
Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.
23 He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.
He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
