Proverbs 5 - 7
1
w My son, be attentive to my wisdom;
x incline your ear to my understanding,
2
that you may keep y discretion,
and your lips may z guard knowledge.
3
For the lips of a a forbidden woman drip honey,
and her speech is b smoother than oil,
4
but in the end she is c bitter as d wormwood,
e sharp as f a two-edged sword.
5
Her feet g go down to death;
her steps follow the path to Sheol;
6
she h does not ponder the path of life;
her ways wander, and she does not know it.
7
And i now, O 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
lest you give your honor to others
and your years to the merciless,
10
lest strangers take their fill of your strength,
and your j labors go to the house of a foreigner,
11
and at the end of your life you k groan,
when your flesh and body are consumed,
12
and you say, l "How I hated discipline,
and my heart m despised reproof!
13
I did not listen to the voice of my teachers
or incline my ear to my instructors.
14
n I am at the brink of utter ruin
in the assembled congregation."
15
Drink o water from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16
Should your p springs be scattered abroad,
streams of water q in the streets?
17
r Let them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18
Let your o fountain be blessed,
and s rejoice in t the wife of your youth,
19
a lovely u deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts v fill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated always in her love.
20
Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with w a forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of w an adulteress?
21
For x a man's ways are y before the eyes of the Lord,
and he z ponders all his paths.
22
The a iniquities of the wicked b ensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23
c He dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is d led astray.
Proverbs 6
1
My son, if you have put up e security for your neighbor,
have e given your pledge for a stranger,
2
if you are f snared in the words of your mouth,
caught in the words of your mouth,
3
then do this, my son, and save yourself,
for you have come into the hand of your neighbor:
go, hasten, and g plead urgently with your neighbor.
4
h Give your eyes no sleep
and your eyelids no slumber;
5
save yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
i like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
6
j Go to k the ant, O l sluggard;
consider her ways, and m be wise.
7
n Without having any chief,
o officer, or ruler,
8
she prepares her bread p in summer
and q gathers her food in harvest.
9
r How long will you lie there, l O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?
10
s A little sleep, a little slumber,
t a little s folding of the hands to rest,
11
u and poverty will come upon you like a robber,
and want like an armed man.
12
v A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with w crooked speech,
13
x winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,
points with his finger,
14
with y perverted heart z devises evil,
continually a sowing discord;
15
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
b in a moment he will be broken c beyond healing.
16
There are d six things that the Lord hates,
d seven that are an abomination to him:
17
e haughty eyes, f a lying tongue,
and g hands that shed innocent blood,
18
h a heart that devises wicked plans,
i feet that make haste to run to evil,
19
j a false witness who k breathes out lies,
and one who a sows discord among brothers.
20
l My son, keep your father's commandment,
l and forsake not your mother's teaching.
21
m Bind them on your heart always;
n tie them around your neck.
22
o When you walk, they will lead you;
o when you lie down, they will p watch over you;
and when you awake, they will talk with you.
23
For the commandment is q a lamp and the teaching a light,
and the r reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
24
to preserve you from the evil woman,
from the smooth tongue of s the adulteress.
25
t Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her u eyelashes;
26
for v the price of a prostitute is only w a loaf of bread,
but a married woman x hunts down a precious life.
27
Can a man carry y fire next to his z chest
and his clothes not be burned?
28
Or can one a walk on hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
29
So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife;
none who touches her b will go unpunished.
30
People do not despise a thief if he steals
to c satisfy his appetite when he is hungry,
31
but d if he is caught, he will pay e sevenfold;
he will give all the goods of his house.
32
He who commits adultery lacks sense;
he who does it destroys himself.
33
He will get wounds and dishonor,
and his disgrace will not be wiped away.
34
For f jealousy makes a man furious,
and he will not spare when g he takes revenge.
35
He will accept no compensation;
he will refuse though you multiply gifts.
Proverbs 7
1
h My son, keep my words
and h treasure up my commandments with you;
2
i keep my commandments and live;
keep my teaching as j the apple of your eye;
3
k bind them on your fingers;
k write them on the tablet of your heart.
4
Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call insight your intimate friend,
5
to keep you from l the forbidden woman,
from l the adulteress with her smooth words.
6
For at m the window of my house
I have looked out through my lattice,
7
and I have seen among n the simple,
I have perceived among the youths,
a young man o lacking sense,
8
passing along the street p near her corner,
taking the road to her house
9
in q the twilight, in the evening,
at r the time of night and darkness.
10
And behold, the woman meets him,
s dressed as a prostitute, wily of heart.
11
She is t loud and u wayward;
v her feet do not stay at home;
12
now in the street, now in the market,
and w at every corner she x lies in wait.
13
She seizes him and kisses him,
and with y bold face she says to him,
14
"I had to z offer sacrifices,
and today I have a paid my vows;
15
so now I have come out to meet you,
to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.
16
I have spread my couch with b coverings,
colored linens from c Egyptian linen;
17
I have perfumed my bed with d myrrh,
aloes, and e cinnamon.
18
Come, let us take our fill of love till morning;
let us delight ourselves with love.
19
For f my husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey;
20
he took a bag of money with him;
at full moon he will come home."
21
With much seductive speech she persuades him;
with g her smooth talk she compels him.
22
All at once he follows her,
as an ox goes to the slaughter,
or as a stag is caught fast
23
till an arrow pierces its liver;
as h a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
24
And i now, O sons, listen to me,
and be attentive to the words of my mouth.
25
Let not your heart turn aside to her ways;
do not stray into her paths,
26
for many a victim has she laid low,
and all her slain are j a mighty throng.
27
Her house is k the way to Sheol,
going down to the chambers of death.
