Proverbs 5
1 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,
O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.
2 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.
To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil [is] her mouth,
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 thou ponder, Moved have her paths — thou knowest not.
[the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.
7 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not 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 far from off her thy way, And come not near unto 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 thou give to others thy honour, And thy 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] thy power, And thy labours 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 thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 And hast said, 'How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.
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 company.
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.
Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.
16 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.
Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.
17 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.
Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,
May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.
19 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself 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 dost thou magnify thyself, 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 over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.
For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.
22 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.
Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.
23 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!
He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
