Proverbs 5:15

Proverbs 5:1 My son, be attentive to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding;

Proverbs 5:2 that you may keep discretion, and your lips may guard knowledge.

Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;

Proverbs 5:4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

Proverbs 5:5 Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol;

Proverbs 5:6 she does not take heed to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.

Proverbs 5:7 And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.

Proverbs 5:8 Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house;

Proverbs 5:9 lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless;

Proverbs 5:10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of an alien;

Proverbs 5:11 and at the end of your life you groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,

Proverbs 5:12 and you say, "How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!

Proverbs 5:13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.

Proverbs 5:14 I was at the point of utter ruin in the assembled congregation."

Proverbs 5:16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?

Proverbs 5:17 Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.

Proverbs 5:18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,

Proverbs 5:19 a lovely hind, a graceful doe. Let her affection fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.

Proverbs 5:20 Why should you be infatuated, my son, with a loose woman and embrace the bosom of an adventuress?

Proverbs 5:21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD, and he watches all his paths.

Proverbs 5:22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is caught in the toils of his sin.

Proverbs 5:23 He dies for lack of discipline, and because of his great folly he is lost.
