Proverbs 5
1 son: child my to/for wisdom my to listen [emph?] to/for understanding my to stretch ear your
[My] son, attend to my wisdom, and apply thine ear to my words;
2 to/for to keep: guard plot and knowledge lips your to watch
that thou mayest keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives thee a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;
3 for honey to drip/prophesy lips be a stranger and smooth from oil palate her
for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:
4 and end her bitter like/as wormwood sharp like/as sword lip: edge
but afterwards thou wilt find her more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established. (Sheol h7585)
6 way life lest to envy to shake track her not to know
For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
7 and now son: descendant/people to hear: hear to/for me and not to turn aside: depart from word lip my
Now then, [my] son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.
8 to remove from upon her way: journey your and not to present: come to(wards) entrance house: home her
Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:
9 lest to give: give to/for another splendor your and year your to/for cruel
lest thou give away thy life to others, and thy substance to the merciless:
10 lest to satisfy be a stranger strength your and toil your in/on/with house: home foreign
lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours come into the houses of strangers;
11 and to groan in/on/with end your in/on/with to end: destroy flesh your and flesh your
And thou repent at last, when the flesh of thy body is consumed,
12 and to say how? to hate discipline and argument to spurn heart my
and thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!
13 and not to hear: hear in/on/with voice rain/teacher my and to/for to learn: teach me not to stretch ear my
I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.
14 like/as little to be in/on/with all bad: evil in/on/with midst assembly and congregation
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 to drink water from pit your and to flow from midst well your
Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells.
16 to flow spring your outside [to] in/on/with street/plaza stream water
Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.

Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.
18 to be fountain your to bless and to rejoice from woman: wife youth your
Let thy fountain of water be [truly] thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 doe lover and doe favor breast her to quench you in/on/with all time in/on/with love her to wander continually
Let [thy] loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.
20 and to/for what? to wander son: child my in/on/with be a stranger and to embrace bosom: embrace foreign
Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.
21 for before eye LORD way: conduct man and all track his to envy
For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.
22 iniquity: crime his to capture him [obj] [the] wicked and in/on/with cord sin his to grasp
Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.
23 he/she/it to die in/on/with nothing discipline and in/on/with abundance folly his to wander
Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.
