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