Compare: Proverbs 5

KJV

My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my understanding:

KJV

That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.

KJV

For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and her mouth [is] smoother than oil:

KJV

But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

KJV

Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

KJV

Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].

KJV

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

KJV

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

KJV

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

KJV

Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours [be] in the house of a stranger;

KJV

And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

KJV

And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

KJV

And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

KJV

I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

KJV

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

KJV

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of waters in the streets.

KJV

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.

KJV

Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

KJV

[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.

KJV

And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

KJV

For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

KJV

His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

KJV

He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
