Proverbs Capítulo 5
This is a book of maxims of wisdom, ethical teachings and common sense about how to live a right life.
American King James Version
5 : 1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
5 : 2 That you may regard discretion, and that your lips may keep knowledge.
5 : 3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
5 : 4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 : 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5 : 6 Lest you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
5 : 7 Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
5 : 8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:
5 : 9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:
5 : 10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;
5 : 11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
5 : 12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
5 : 13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!
5 : 14 I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly.
5 : 15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
5 : 16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
5 : 17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers' with you.
5 : 18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
5 : 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
5 : 20 And why will you, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
5 : 21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he ponders all his goings.
5 : 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
5 : 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
