\c 5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
|
|
\q incline your ears to my understanding,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 so you may learn about discretion
|
|
\q and your lips may protect knowledge.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 For the lips of an adulteress drip with honey
|
|
\q and her mouth is smoother than oil,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood,
|
|
\q cutting like a sharp sword.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Her feet go down to death;
|
|
\q her steps go all the way to Sheol.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 She gives no thought to the path of life.
|
|
\q Her footsteps wander; she does not know where she is going.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 And now, my sons, listen to me;
|
|
\q do not turn away from listening to the words of my mouth.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Keep your path far away from her
|
|
\q and do not come near the door of her house.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 In that way you will not give away your honor to others
|
|
\q or years of your life to a cruel person;
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 strangers will not feast on your wealth;
|
|
\q what you have worked for will not go into the house of strangers.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 At the end of your life you will groan
|
|
\q when your flesh and your body waste away.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 You will say, "How I hated instruction
|
|
\q and my heart despised correction!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 I would not obey my teachers
|
|
\q or incline my ear to my instructors.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 I was almost completely ruined
|
|
\q in the midst of the assembly, among the gathering of the people."
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Drink water from your own cistern
|
|
\q and drink running water from your own well.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 Should your springs overflow everywhere
|
|
\q and your streams of water flow in the public squares?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 Let them be for yourself alone
|
|
\q and not for strangers with you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 May your fountain be blessed
|
|
\q and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 for she is a loving deer and a graceful doe.
|
|
\q Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
|
|
\q may you be continually intoxicated by her love.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 For why should you, my son, be captivated by an adulteress;
|
|
\q why should you embrace the breasts of an immoral woman?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Yahweh sees everything a person does
|
|
\q and watches all the paths he takes.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 A wicked person will be seized by his own iniquities;
|
|
\q the cords of his sin will hold him tight.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 He will die because he lacks instruction;
|
|
\q he is led astray by his great foolishness.
