5My child, be attentive to my wisdom; incline your ear to my understanding,H1121H7181H2451H5186H241H83942so that you may hold on to prudence, and your lips may guard knowledge.H8104H4209H8193H5341H18473For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;H8193H2114H5197H5317H2441H2509H80814but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.H319H4751H3939H2299H6310H27195Her feet go down to death; her steps follow the path to Sheol.H7272H3381H4194H6806H8551H75856She does not keep straight to the path of life; her ways wander, and she does not know it.H6424H734H2416H4570H5128H30457And now, my child, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.H8085H1121H5493H561H63108Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house;H7368H1870H7368H7126H6607H10049or you will give your honor to others, and your years to the merciless,H5414H1935H312H8141H39410and strangers will take their fill of your wealth, and your labors will go to the house of an alien;H2114H7646H3581H6089H1004H523711and at the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are consumed,H5098H319H1320H7607H361512and you say, "Oh, how I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!H559H8130H4148H3820H5006H843313I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.H8085H6963H3384H5186H241H392514Now I am at the point of utter ruin in the public assembly."H4592H7451H8432H6951H571215Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.H8354H4325H953H5140H8432H87516Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets?H4599H6327H2351H6388H4325H733917Let them be for yourself alone, and not for sharing with strangers.H211418Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,H4726H1288H8055H802H527119a lovely deer, a graceful doe. May her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be intoxicated always by her love.H158H365H2580H3280H1717H7301H6256H7686H8548H16020Why should you be intoxicated, my son, by another woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?H1121H7686H2114H2263H2436H523721For human ways are under the eyes of the LORD, and he examines all their paths.H1870H376H5227H5869H3068H6424H457022The iniquities of the wicked ensnare them, and they are caught in the toils of their sin.H5771H3920H7563H8551H2256H240323They die for lack of discipline, and because of their great folly they are lost.H4191H4148H7230H200H7686
