proverbs 5

1 - My son, pay attention to my wisdom.Turn your ear to my understanding:
2 - that you may maintain discretion,that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 - For the lips of an adulteress drip honey.Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 - but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 - Her feet go down to death.Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6 - She gives no thought to the way of life.Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.
7 - Now therefore, my sons, listen to me.Don't depart from the words of my mouth.
8 - Remove your way far from her.Don't come near the door of her house,
9 - lest you give your honor to others,and your years to the cruel one;
10 - lest strangers feast on your wealth,and your labors enrich another man's house.
11 - You will groan at your latter end,when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 - and say, "How I have hated instruction,and my heart despised reproof;
13 - neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers,nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14 - I have come to the brink of utter ruin,among the gathered assembly."
15 - Drink water out of your own cistern,running water out of your own well.
16 - Should your springs overflow in the streets,streams of water in the public squares?
17 - Let them be for yourself alone,not for strangers with you.
18 - Let your spring be blessed.Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 - A loving doe and a graceful deer-let her breasts satisfy you at all times.Be captivated always with her love.
20 - For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress?Why embrace the bosom of another?
21 - For the ways of man are before The LORD's eyes.He examines all his paths.
22 - The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him.The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
23 - He will die for lack of instruction.In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
