CHAP. V.
1 Solomon exhorteth to the study of wisdom: 3
He showeth the mischief of lewdness and riot:
15 He exhorteth to contentedness, liberality,
and chastity. 22 The wicked are overtaken
with their own sins.
1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and
bow thy ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion,
and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 ¶2; note For the lips of a note strange woman
drop as a honey-comb, and her note mouth
is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 noteHer feet go down to death; her
steps take hold on note hell.
6 Lest thou shouldst ponder the path
of life, her ways are movable, that thou
canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children,
and depart not from the words of
my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and
come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thy honor to others,
and thy years to the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with note thy
wealth; and thy labors be in the house
of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when
thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction,
and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of
my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them
that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst
of the congregation and assembly.
15 ¶2; Drink waters out of thy own cistern,
and running waters out of thy own
well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed
abroad, and rivers of waters in the
streets.
17 Let them be only thy own, and not
for note strangers with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and
rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and
pleasant roe; let her breasts note satisfy
thee at all times; and note be thou ravished
always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished
with a note strange woman, and embrace
the bosom of a stranger?
21 noteFor the ways of man are before
the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth
all his goings.
22 ¶2; His own iniquities shall take the
wicked himself, and he shall be held with
the cords of his note sins.
23 He shall die without instruction;
and in the greatness of his folly he shall
go astray.
