Proverbs 5 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Pro 5:1

Pro 5:1My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding:

Pro 5:2

Pro 5:2That you may maintain discretion, That your lips may preserve knowledge.

Pro 5:3

Pro 5:3For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

Pro 5:4

Pro 5:4But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword.

Pro 5:5

Pro 5:5Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to She'ol.

Pro 5:6

Pro 5:6She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.

Pro 5:7

Pro 5:7Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don't depart from the words of my mouth.

Pro 5:8

Pro 5:8Remove your way far from her. Don't come near the door of her house,

Pro 5:9

Pro 5:9Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;

Pro 5:10

Pro 5:10Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man's house.

Pro 5:11

Pro 5:11You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed,

Pro 5:12

Pro 5:12And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

Pro 5:13

Pro 5:13Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!

Pro 5:14

Pro 5:14I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly."

Pro 5:15

Pro 5:15Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well.

Pro 5:16

Pro 5:16Should your springs overflow in the streets, Streams of water in the public squares?

Pro 5:17

Pro 5:17Let them be for yourself alone, Not for strangers with you.

Pro 5:18

Pro 5:18Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.

Pro 5:19

Pro 5:19A loving doe and a graceful deer -- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.

Pro 5:20

Pro 5:20For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?

Pro 5:21

Pro 5:21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD. He examines all his paths.

Pro 5:22

Pro 5:22The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.

Pro 5:23

Pro 5:23He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
