Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:1 - My son, attend to my wisdom, and apply thine ear to my words;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:2 - that thou mayest keep good understanding, and the discretion of my lips gives thee a charge. Give no heed to a worthless woman;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:3 - for honey drops from the lips of a harlot, who for a season pleases thy palate:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:4 - but afterwards thou wilt find her [fn]more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:5 - For the feet of folly lead those who deal with her down to the grave with death; and her steps are not established.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:6 - For she goes not upon the paths of life; but her ways are slippery, and not easily known.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:7 - Now then, my son, hear me, and make not my words of none effect.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:8 - Remove thy way far from her; draw not near to the doors of her house:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:9 - lest thou give away thy life to others, and thy substance to the merciless:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:10 - lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours come into the houses of strangers;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:11 - and thou repent at last, when the flesh of thy body is consumed,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:12 - and thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart avoided reproofs!
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:13 - [fn]I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me, neither did I apply mine ear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:14 - I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:15 - Drink waters out of thine own vessels, and out of thine own springing wells.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:16 - Let not waters out of thy fountain be spilt by thee, but let thy waters go into thy streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:17 - Let them be only thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:18 - Let thy fountain of water be truly thine own; and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:19 - Let thy loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee, and let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times; for ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:20 - Be not intimate with a strange woman, neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:21 - For the ways of a man are before the eyes of God, and he looks on all his paths.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:22 - Iniquities ensnare a man, and every one is bound in the chains of his own sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:23 - Such a man dies with the uninstructed; and he is cast forth from the abundance of his own substance, and has perished through folly.
