Proverbs 5
1 My son! Give attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding,
O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.
2 To observe thoughtfulness, And your lips keep knowledge.
To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth [is] smoother than oil,
For honey they drip [the] lips of a strange [woman] and [is] smooth more than oil mouth her.
4 And her latter end [is] bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword [with] mouths.
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 The path of life—lest you ponder, Her paths have moved—you do not know.
[the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.
7 And now, you sons, listen to me, And do not turn from sayings of my mouth.
And therefore O children listen to me and may not you depart from [the] utterances of mouth my.
8 Keep your way far from off her, And do not come near to the opening of her house,
Make far away from with her way your and may not you draw near to [the] entrance of house her.
9 Lest you give your splendor to others, And your years to the fierce,
Lest you should give to others vigor your and years your to a cruel [person].
10 Lest strangers be filled [with] your power, And your labors in the house of a stranger,
Lest they should be satisfied strangers strength your and labor your [be] in [the] house of a foreigner.
11 And you have howled in your latter end, In the consumption of your flesh and your food,
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 And have said, “How I have hated instruction, And my heart has despised reproof,
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 And I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, And have not inclined my ear to my teachers.
And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.
14 As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a congregation.”
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, Even flowing ones out of your own well.
Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.
16 Let your fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places streams of waters.
Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.
17 Let them be to you for yourself, And not to strangers with you.
Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of your youth,
May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.
19 A doe of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy you at all times, Magnify yourself in her love continually.
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 And why do you magnify yourself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?
And why? will you go astray O son my with a strange [woman] may you embrace? [the] bosom of a foreign [woman].
21 For the ways of each are before the eyes of YHWH, And He is pondering all his paths.
For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.
22 His own iniquities capture the wicked, And he is holden with the ropes of his sin.
Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.
23 He dies without instruction, And magnifies himself in the abundance of his folly!
He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
