Proverbs 5 - King James Bible (KJV Book of Proverbs) Free Bible Online


Proverbs 5

1 - My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

2 - That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

3 - For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

4 - But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

5 - Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

6 - Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

7 - Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

8 - Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

9 - Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

10 - Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

11 - And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

12 - And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

13 - And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

14 - I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

15 - Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

16 - Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

17 - Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

18 - Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

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.

20 - And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

21 - For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

22 - His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

23 - He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
