|
|
My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my
understanding:
|
|
|
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep
knowledge.
|
|
|
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her
mouth is smoother than oil:
|
|
|
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
|
|
|
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
|
|
|
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are
moveable, that thou canst not know them.
|
|
|
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the
words of my mouth.
|
|
|
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her
house:
|
|
|
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto
the cruel:
|
|
|
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be
in the house of a stranger;
|
|
|
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are
consumed,
|
|
|
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised
reproof;
|
|
|
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined
mine ear to them that instructed me!
|
|
|
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and
assembly.
|
|
|
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out
of thine own well.
|
|
|
Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in
the streets.
|
|
|
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
|
|
|
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy
youth.
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
|
|
|
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he
pondereth all his goings.
|
|
|
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall
be holden with the cords of his sins.
|
|
|
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his
folly he shall go astray.
