Pro Proverbs, chapter Proverbs of Solomon, chapter 5
My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence. Pro 4:20That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman. For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil. But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell. Pro 7:27; Mat 14:6They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable. Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house. Pro 7:25Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel. Pro 6:33Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house, Pro 29:3; Sir 9:6And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say: Luk 15:14Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof, And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not inclined my ear to masters? I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation. Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well: Pro 9:17Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters. Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee. Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth: Ecc 9:9Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love. Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another? Sir 9:10The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps. Job 34:24; Jer 16:17His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins. Psa 7:17; Isa 5:18He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.Ezk 33:11
