CHAP. V. 3 Whoredome forbidden, 9 And prodigalitie. 15 He willeth a man to liue on his labours and to helpe others, 18 To loue his wife. 22 The wicked taken in their owne wickednes.


1   My sonne, hearken vnto my wisedome, & incline thine eare vnto my note knowledge.


2   That thou maiest regarde counsell, and thy lippes obserue knowledge.


3   For the lippes note of a strange woman drop as an honie combe, and her mouth is more soft then note oyle.


4   But the end of her is bitter as wormewood, and sharpe as a two edged sworde.


5   Her note feete goe downe to death, and her Whoredome forbidden. steps take holde on hell.


6   She weigheth not the way of life: her paths are note moueable: thou canst not knowe them.


7   Heare yee me nowe therefore, O children, and depart not from the wordes of my mouth.


8   Keepe thy way farre from her, and come not neere the doore of her house,


9   Least thou giue thine note honor vnto others, and thy yeeres to the cruell:


10   Least the stranger should be silled with thy strength, and thy note labours bee in the house of a stranger,


11   And thou mourne at thine end, (when thou hast consumed thy flesh and thy bodie)


12   And say, How haue I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction!


13   And haue not obeied the voyce of them that taught mee, nor enclined mine eare to them that instructed me!


14   I was almost brought into all euil in þe; mids of the Congregation and note assemblie.


15   ¶2; Drinke the water of note thy cisterne, and of the riuers out of the middes of thine owne well.


16   Let thy fountaines flow foorth, and the riuers of waters in the streetes.


17   But let them bee thine, euen note thine onely, and not the strangers with thee.


18   Let thy note fountaine be blessed, and reioyce with the wife of thy note youth.


19   Let her be as the louing hinde and pleasant roe: let her brests satisfie thee at all times, and delite in her loue continually.


20   For why shouldest thou note delite, my sonne, in a strange woman, or embrace the bosome of a stranger?


21   For the waies of man are before the note eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his pathes.


22   His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne.


23   Hee shall note die for faute of instruction, and shall goe astraie through his great follie.
