1. (Prov 5:1) My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:
2. (Prov 5:2) that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3. (Prov 5:3) For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4. (Prov 5:4) But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5. (Prov 5:5) Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6. (Prov 5:6) She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.
7. (Prov 5:7) Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth.
8. (Prov 5:8) Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house,
9. (Prov 5:9) lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;
10. (Prov 5:10) lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man's house.
11. (Prov 5:11) You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12. (Prov 5:12) and say, "How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13. (Prov 5:13) neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14. (Prov 5:14) I have come to the brink of utter ruin, in the midst of the gathered assembly."
15. (Prov 5:15) Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.
16. (Prov 5:16) Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?
17. (Prov 5:17) Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
18. (Prov 5:18) Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19. (Prov 5:19) A loving doe and a graceful deer-- let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
20. (Prov 5:20) For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
21. (Prov 5:21) For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths.
22. (Prov 5:22) The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
23. (Prov 5:23) He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
