Proverbs 5:4-23

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!

I was almost
<04592>

in all evil
<07451>

in the midst
<08432>

of the congregation
<06951>

and assembly
<05712>_.

Drink
<08354> (8798)

waters
<04325>

out of thine own cistern
<0953>_,

and running waters
<05140> (8802)

out of
<08432>

thine own well
<0875>_.

Let thy fountains
<04599>

be dispersed
<06327> (8799)

abroad
<02351>_,

[and] rivers
<06388>

of waters
<04325>

in the streets
<07339>_.

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers
<02114> (8801)_'

with thee.

Let thy fountain
<04726>

be blessed
<01288> (8803)_:

and rejoice
<08055> (8798)

with the wife
<0802>

of thy youth
<05271>_.

[Let her be as] the loving
<0158>

hind
<0365>

and pleasant
<02580>

roe
<03280>_;

let her breasts
<01717>

satisfy
<07301> (8762)

thee at all times
<06256>_;

and be thou ravished
<07686> (8799)

always
<08548>

with her love
<0160>_.

{satisfy...: Heb. water thee} {be thou...: Heb. err thou always in her love}

And why wilt thou, my son
<01121>_,

be ravished
<07686> (8799)

with a strange woman
<02114> (8801)_,

and embrace
<02263> (8762)

the bosom
<02436>

of a stranger
<05237>_?

For the ways
<01870>

of man
<0376>

[are] before
<05227>

the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and he pondereth
<06424> (8764)

all his goings
<04570>_.

His own iniquities
<05771>

shall take
<03920> (8799)

the wicked
<07563>

himself, and he shall be holden
<08551> (8735)

with the cords
<02256>

of his sins
<02403>_.

{sins: Heb. sin}

He shall die
<04191> (8799)

without instruction
<04148>_;

and in the greatness
<07230>

of his folly
<0200>

he shall go astray
<07686> (8799)_.
