Proverbs 5

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding: KJVSD — Proverbs 5:1

2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:2

3 For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil: KJVSD — Proverbs 5:3

4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:4

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:5

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].KJVSD — Proverbs 5:6

7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:7

8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: KJVSD — Proverbs 5:8

9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: KJVSD — Proverbs 5:9

10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger; KJVSD — Proverbs 5:10

11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, KJVSD — Proverbs 5:11

12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; KJVSD — Proverbs 5:12

13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!KJVSD — Proverbs 5:13

14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:14

15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:15

16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:16

17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.KJVSD — Proverbs 5:17

18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:18

19 [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:19

20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? KJVSD — Proverbs 5:20

21 For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:21

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:22

23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. KJVSD — Proverbs 5:23
