Proverbs 5 :: King James Version (KJV)

Pitfalls of Immorality

Pro 5:1

Pro 5:1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:

Pro 5:2

Pro 5:2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

Pro 5:3

Pro 5:3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Pro 5:4

Pro 5:4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

Pro 5:5

Pro 5:5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

Pro 5:6

Pro 5:6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

Pro 5:7

Pro 5:7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Pro 5:8

Pro 5:8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

Pro 5:9

Pro 5:9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

Pro 5:10

Pro 5:10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;

Pro 5:11

Pro 5:11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

Pro 5:12

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

Pro 5:13

Pro 5:13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

Pro 5:14

Pro 5:14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Pro 5:15

Pro 5:15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Pro 5:16

Pro 5:16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

Pro 5:17

Pro 5:17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.

Pro 5:18

Pro 5:18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

Pro 5:19

Pro 5:19Let 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.

Pro 5:20

Pro 5:20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?

Pro 5:21

Pro 5:21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Pro 5:22

Pro 5:22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Pro 5:23

Pro 5:23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
