| 5:3 |
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and
her mouth is smoother than oil: |
| 5:4 |
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged
sword. |
| 5:5 |
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. |
| 5:6 |
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are
moveable, that thou canst not know them. |
| 5:7 |
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from
the words of my mouth. |
| 5:8 |
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door
of her house: |
| 5:9 |
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years
unto the cruel: |
| 5:10 |
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours
be in the house of a stranger; |
| 5:11 |
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body
are consumed, |
| 5:12 |
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart
despised reproof; |
| 5:13 |
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor
inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! |
| 5:14 |
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation
and assembly. |
| 5:15 |
Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters
out of thine own well. |
| 5:16 |
Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of
waters in the streets. |
| 5:17 |
Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. |
| 5:18 |
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of
thy youth. |
| 5:19 |
Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her
breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always
with her love. |
| 5:20 |
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange
woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? |
| 5:21 |
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and
he pondereth all his goings. |
| 5:22 |
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he
shall be holden with the cords of his sins. |
| 5:23 |
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of
his folly he shall go astray. |
| 6:23 |
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and
reproofs of instruction are the way of life: |
| 6:24 |
To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of
the tongue of a strange woman. |
| 6:25 |
Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her
take thee with her eyelids. |
| 6:26 |
For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a
piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious
life. |
| 6:27 |
Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be
burned? |
| 6:28 |
Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? |
| 6:29 |
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever
toucheth her shall not be innocent. |
| 6:30 |
Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his
soul when he is hungry; |
| 6:31 |
But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall
give all the substance of his house. |
| 6:32 |
But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. |
| 6:33 |
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach
shall not be wiped away. |
| 6:34 |
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not
spare in the day of vengeance. |
| 6:35 |
He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest
content, though thou givest many gifts. |
| 30:20 |
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and
wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. |
