Chap. V.
Againe wisdom dehorteth from fornication (carnal and spiritual) 6. shewing
that in the end sinners shal see and feele the effect of their follie:
20. which God seeth and wil punish.
1 My sonne, attend to my wisdom, and to my prudence incline
thyne eare,
2 that thou mayst keepe note cogitations,
and thy lippes preserue discipline.
3 Attend not to
the deceipt of a note woman: for the lippes of an harlot are as a
hony combe distilling, and her throte netter then oyle.
4 But
her later endes are bitter as wormewood, and sharpe as a two
edged sword.
5 Her feete goe downe into death, and her
steppes penetrate vnto hel.
6 They walke not by the path of
life, her steppes are wandering, and vnsearcheable.
7 Now
therfore my sonne heare me, and depart not from the wordes
of my mouth.
8 Make thy way far from her, and aproch not
to the doores of her house.
9 Geue not thy honour note to strangers,
and thy yeres to the note cruel.
10 Lest perhaps strangers be
filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in an other mans
house,
11 and thou mourne in the end, when thou shalt haue
spent thy flesh and thy bodie, and say:
12 Why haue I detested
discipline, and my hart consented not to reprehensions,
13 nor
I heard the voice of them that taught me, and haue not inclined
mine eare to masters?
14 I haue almost bene in al euil, in
the middes of the church and of the synagoge.
15 Drinke
water of thyne owne cesterne, and the stremes of thy wel:
16 noteLet thy fountaines be deriued abrode, and in the streates
diuide thy waters.
17 noteHaue them alone, neither let strangers
be partakers with thee.
18 Let thy vayne be blessed, and reioyce
with the woman of thy youth:
19 a hinde most deare, and
-- --
a most grateful fawne: let her breastes inebriate thee at al time,
in her loue be thou delighted continually.
20 Why art thou seduced
my sonne of a strange woman, and art cherished in the
bosome of an other?
21 Our Lord beholdeth the wayes of a
man, and considereth al his steppes.
22 His owne iniquities
take the impious, and he is fast bonde with the ropes of his
sinnes.
23 He shal die because he hath not had discipline, and
in the multitude of his folie he shal be deceiued.
