Proverbs 5:0 - Proverbs 5:10
Proverbs 5
Intro: Solomon exhorteth to contentedness, liberality, and chastity.
1 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding;
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil;
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house;
9 Lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel;
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger;
