Proverbs 5
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, incline thine ear to my understanding;
O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.
2 that thou mayest keep reflection, and that thy lips may preserve knowledge.
To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.
3 For the lips of the 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 but her end is bitter as wormwood, 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 Lest she should ponder the path of life, her ways wander, she knoweth not [whither].
[the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.
7 And now, children, hearken unto 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 door 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 thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;
Lest you should give to others vigor your and years your to a cruel [person].
10 lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil [come] into 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 mourn in thine end, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed;
And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.
12 and thou say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof!
And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.
13 and I have not hearkened unto the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to those that instructed me;
And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.
14 I was well nigh in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.
16 Thy fountains shall be poured forth, as water-brooks in the broadways.
Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed; and have joy of the wife of thy youth.
May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.
19 As a lovely hind and a graceful roe, let her breasts satisfy thee at all times: be thou ravished 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 And why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
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 man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and he pondereth 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 shall take the wicked, and he shall be holden with the cords 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 shall die for want of discipline; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
