PROVERBS CHAPTER 5 (KJV) of the PROVERBS of SOLOMON

Chapter 5 of the Book of Proverbs (KJV):

1) My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding: 2) That you may regard discretion, and that your 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 two-edged sword. 5) Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 6) Unless you ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can’t know them. 7) Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. 8) Remove your way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9) Less you give your honor unto others, and your years unto the cruel: 10) Less strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger; 11) And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your 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 your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well. 16) Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17) Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you. 18) Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth. 19) Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love. 20) And why would you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the boson of a stranger? 21) For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He ponders all his goings. 22) His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cord of his sins. 23) He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
