Proverbs
Chapter 5

1] My son, to my wisdom be attentive, to my knowledge incline your ear,
2] That discretion may watch over you, and understanding may guard you.
3] The lips of an adulteress drip with honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
4] But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5] Her feet go down to death, to the nether world her steps attain;
6] Lest you see before you the road to life, her paths will ramble, you know not where.
7] So now, O children, listen to me, go not astray from the words of my mouth.
8] Keep your way far from her, approach not the door of her house,
9] Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to a merciless one;
10] Lest strangers have their fill of your wealth, your hard-won earnings go to an alien's house;
11] And you groan in the end, when your flesh and your body are consumed;
12] And you say, "Oh, why did I hate instruction, and my heart spurn reproof!
13] Why did I not listen to the voice of my teachers, nor to my instructors incline my ear!
14] I have all but come to utter ruin, condemned by the public assembly!"
15] Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16] How may your water sources be dispersed abroad, streams of water in the streets?
17] Let your fountain be yours alone, not one shared with strangers;
18] And have joy of the wife of your youth,
19] your lovely hind, your graceful doe. Her love will invigorate you always, through her love you will flourish continually.
20] Why then, my son, should you go astray for another's wife and accept the embraces of an adulteress?
21] For each man's ways are plain to the LORD'S sight; all their paths he surveys;
22] By his own iniquities the wicked man will be caught, in the meshes of his own sin he will be held fast;
23] He will die from lack of discipline, through the greatness of his folly he will be lost.
