1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow thy ear to my understanding: WBS — Proverbs 5:1
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. WBS — Proverbs 5:2
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honey-comb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: WBS — Proverbs 5:3
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. WBS — Proverbs 5:4
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. WBS — Proverbs 5:5
6 Lest thou shouldst ponder the path of life, her ways are movable, that thou canst not know them. WBS — Proverbs 5:6
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. WBS — Proverbs 5:7
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: WBS — Proverbs 5:8
9 Lest thou give thy honor to others, and thy years to the cruel: WBS — Proverbs 5:9
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger; WBS — Proverbs 5:10
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, WBS — Proverbs 5:11
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; WBS — Proverbs 5:12
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me! WBS — Proverbs 5:13
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. WBS — Proverbs 5:14
15 Drink waters out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well. WBS — Proverbs 5:15
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. WBS — Proverbs 5:16
17 Let them be only thy own, and not for strangers with thee. WBS — Proverbs 5:17
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. WBS — Proverbs 5:18
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. WBS — Proverbs 5:19
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? WBS — Proverbs 5:20
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. WBS — Proverbs 5:21
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins. WBS — Proverbs 5:22
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. WBS — Proverbs 5:23
