Proverbs 5

1

My son, give attention to my wisdom, Incline your ear to my understanding;

2

That you may observe discretion And your lips may reserve knowledge.

3

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey And smoother than oil is her speech;

4

But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

5

Her feet go down to death, Her steps take hold of Sheol.

6

She does not ponder the path of life; Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.

7

Now then, my sons, listen to me And do not depart from the words of my mouth.

8

Keep your way far from her And do not go near the door of her house,

9

Or you will give your vigor to others And your years to the cruel one;

10

And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien;

11

And you groan at your final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;

12

And you say, "How I have hated instruction! And my heart spurned reproof!

13

"I have not listened to the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!

14

"I was almost in utter ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.'

15

Drink water from your own cistern And fresh water from your own well.

16

Should your springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?

17

Let them be yours alone And not for strangers with you.

18

Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.

19

As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.

20

For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

21

For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He watches all his paths.

22

His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.

23

He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray. 6

Proverbs 6

1

My son, if you have become surety for your neighbor, Have given a pledge for a stranger,

2

If you have been snared with the words of your mouth, Have been caught with the words of your mouth,

3

Do this then, my son, and deliver yourself; Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go, humble yourself, and importune your neighbor.

4

Give no sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids;

5

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hunter's hand And like a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6

Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise,

7

Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler,

8

Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest.

9

How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?

10

" A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest'

11

Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.

12

A worthless person, a wicked man, Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,

13

Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, Who points with his fingers;

14

Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.

15

Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.

16

There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

17

Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,

18

A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,

19

A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.

20

My son, observe the commandment of your father And do not forsake the teaching of your mother;

21

Bind them continually on your heart; Tie them around your neck.

22

When you walk about, they will guide you; When you sleep, they will watch over you; And when you awake, they will talk to you.

23

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life

24

To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.

25

Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids.

26

For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life.

27

Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned?

28

Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched?

29

So is the one who goes in to his neighbor's wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished.

30

Men do not despise a thief if he steals To satisfy himself when he is hungry;

31

But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house.

32

The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it.

33

Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out.

34

For jealousy enrages a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

35

He will not accept any ransom, Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts. 7
