PROVERBS 5
“The Peril of Adultery”


My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to
my understanding,

2 That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may
keep knowledge.

3 For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her
mouth is smoother than oil;

4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a
two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.

6 Lest you ponder her path of life - Her ways are
unstable; You do not know them.

7 Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart
from the words of my mouth.

8 Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the
door of her house,

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

10 Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your
labors go to the house of a foreigner;

11 And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your
body are consumed,

12 And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart
despised correction!

13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor
inclined my ear to those who instructed me!

14 I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of
the assembly and congregation."

15 Drink water from your own cistern, And running water
from your own well.

16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams
of water in the streets?

17 Let them be only your own, And not for strangers
with you.

18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the
wife of your youth.

19 As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts
satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with
her love.

20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an
immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a
seductress?

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He ponders all his paths.

22 His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is
caught in the cords of his sin.

23 He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the
greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

God Bless you -
