Proverbs
5. fejezet
1. vers
My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding,
2. vers
that you may maintain discretion, that your lips may preserve knowledge.
3. vers
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,
4. vers
but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
5. vers
Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol.
6. vers
She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.
7. vers
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.
8. vers
Remove your way far from her. Don’t come near the door of her house,
9. vers
lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;
10. vers
lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.
11. vers
You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,
12. vers
and say, “How I have hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof.
13. vers
I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
14. vers
I have come to the brink of utter ruin, among the gathered assembly.”
15. vers
Drink water out of your own cistern, running water out of your own well.
16. vers
Should your springs overflow in the streets, streams of water in the public squares?
17. vers
Let them be for yourself alone, not for strangers with you.
18. vers
Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19. vers
A loving doe and a graceful deer— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love.
20. vers
For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another?
21. vers
For the ways of man are before Yahweh’s eyes. He examines all his paths.
22. vers
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
23. vers
He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
