Proverbs 5

1 O son my to wisdom my be attentive! to understanding my incline ear your.

2 To preserve discretion and knowledge lips your they will observe.

3 For honey they drip [the] lips of a strange [woman] and [is] smooth more than oil mouth her.

4 And end her [is] bitter like wormwood sharp like a sword of mouths.

5 Feet her [are] going down death Sheol steps her they will attain. (Sheol h7585)

6 [the] path of Life lest she should make level they wander tracks her not she knows.

7 And therefore O children listen to me and may not you depart from [the] utterances of mouth my.

8 Make far away from with her way your and may not you draw near to [the] entrance of house her.

9 Lest you should give to others vigor your and years your to a cruel [person].

10 Lest they should be satisfied strangers strength your and labor your [be] in [the] house of a foreigner.

11 And you will groan at end your when wastes away flesh your and body your.

12 And you will say how! I hated discipline and rebuke it spurned heart my.

13 And not I listened to [the] voice of instructor my and to teachers my not I inclined ear my.

14 Like a little I was in every calamity in among [the] assembly and [the] congregation.

15 Drink water from own cistern your and streams from [the] midst of own well your.

16 Will they overflow? springs your [the] outside towards in the open places streams of water.

17 Let them belong to you to alone you and not to strangers with you.

18 May it be spring your blessed and rejoice from [the] wife of youth your.

19 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? will you go astray O son my with a strange [woman] may you embrace? [the] bosom of a foreign [woman].

21 For before - [the] eyes of Yahweh [the] ways of a person and all tracks his [he is] making level.

22 Iniquities his they will seize him the wicked [person] and by [the] cords of sin his he will be held.

23 He he will die for not discipline and in [the] greatness of foolishness his he will go astray.
