Proverbs 5:1-13

My son
<01121>_,

attend
<07181> (8685)

unto my wisdom
<02451>_,

[and] bow
<05186> (8685)

thine ear
<0241>

to my understanding
<08394>_:

That thou mayest regard
<08104> (8800)

discretion
<04209>_,

and [that] thy lips
<08193>

may keep
<05341> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_.

For the lips
<08193>

of a strange woman
<02114> (8801)

drop
<05197> (8799)

[as] an honeycomb
<05317>_,

and her mouth
<02441>

[is] smoother
<02509>

than oil
<08081>_:

{mouth: Heb. palate}

But her end
<0319>

is bitter
<04751>

as wormwood
<03939>_,

sharp
<02299>

as a twoedged
<06310>

sword
<02719>_.

Her feet
<07272>

go down
<03381> (8802)

to death
<04194>_;

her steps
<06806>

take hold
<08551> (8799)

on hell
<07585>_.

Lest thou shouldest ponder
<06424> (8762)

the path
<0734>

of life
<02416>_,

her ways
<04570>

are moveable
<05128> (8804)_,

[that] thou canst not know
<03045> (8799)

[them].

Hear
<08085> (8798)

me now therefore, O ye children
<01121>_,

and depart
<05493> (8799)

not from the words
<0561>

of my mouth
<06310>_.

Remove
<07368> (0)

thy way
<01870>

far
<07368> (8685)

from her, and come not nigh
<07126> (8799)

the door
<06607>

of her house
<01004>_:

Lest thou give
<05414> (8799)

thine honour
<01935>

unto others
<0312>_,

and thy years
<08141>

unto the cruel
<0394>_:

Lest strangers
<02114> (8801)

be filled
<07646> (8799)

with thy wealth
<03581>_;

and thy labours
<06089>

[be] in the house
<01004>

of a stranger
<05237>_;

{thy wealth: Heb. thy strength}

And thou mourn
<05098> (8804)

at the last
<0319>_,

when thy flesh
<01320>

and thy body
<07607>

are consumed
<03615> (8800)_,

And say
<0559> (8804)_,

How have I hated
<08130> (8804)

instruction
<04148>_,

and my heart
<03820>

despised
<05006> (8804)

reproof
<08433>_;

And have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)

the voice
<06963>

of my teachers
<03384> (8688)_,

nor inclined
<05186> (8689)

mine ear
<0241>

to them that instructed
<03925> (8764)

me!
