Proverbs 5:1-14

1My sonH1121, attend unto my wisdomH2451, inclineH5186 thine earH241 to my understandingH8394;

2that thou mayest keepH8104 reflection, and that thy lipsH8193 may preserveH5341 knowledgeH1847.

3For the lipsH8193 of the strangeH2114 womanH2114 drop honeyH5317, and her mouthH2441 is smoother than oilH8081;

4but her endH319 is bitterH4751 as wormwoodH3939, sharpH2299 as a two-edged swordH2719.

5Her feetH7272 goH3381 down to deathH4194; her stepsH6806 takeH3381 holdH8551 on SheolH7585.

6LestH6435 she should ponder the pathH734 of lifeH2416, her waysH734 wanderH5128, she knoweth not [whither].

7And nowH6258, children, hearken unto me, and departH5493 not from the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.

8RemoveH7368 thy wayH1870 farH7368 from her, and come not nigh the doorH6607 of her houseH1004:

9lestH6435 thou giveH5414 thine honour unto othersH312, and thy yearsH8141 unto the cruelH394;

10lestH6435 strangersH2114 be filled with thy wealth, and the fruits of thy toil [come] into the houseH1004 of a stranger;

11and thou mourn in thine endH319, when thy fleshH1320 and thy bodyH1320 are consumed;

12and thou sayH559, HowH349 have I hatedH8130 instruction, and my heartH3820 despised reproof!

13and I have not hearkened unto the voiceH6963 of my teachersH3925, nor inclinedH5186 mine earH241 to those that instructedH3384 me;

14I wasH1961 well nigh in all evilH7451 in the midstH8432 of the congregationH5712 and assemblyH6951.
