V.1 My son, 1121 attend 7181-54 unto my wisdom, 2451 [and] bow 5186-54 thine ear 241 to my understanding: 8394
5:2 That thou mayest regard 8104-2 discretion, 4209 and [that] thy lips 8193 may keep 5341-4 knowledge. 1847
5:3 For the lips 8193 of a strange woman 2114-5 drop 5197-4 [as] an honeycomb, 5317 and her mouth 2441 [is] smoother 2509 than oil: 8081
5:4 But her end 319 is bitter 4751 as wormwood, 3939 sharp 2299 as a twoedged 6310 sword. 2719
5:5 Her feet 7272 go down 3381-6 to death; 4194 her steps 6806 take hold 8551-4 on hell. 7585
5:6 Lest thou shouldest ponder 6424-17 the path 734 of life, 2416 her ways 4570 are moveable, 5128-1 [that] thou canst not know 3045-4 [them].
5:7 Hear 8085-3 me now therefore, O ye children, 1121 and depart 5493-4 not from the words 561 of my mouth. 6310
5:8 Remove thy way 1870 far 7368-54 from her, and come not nigh 7126-4 the door 6607 of her house: 1004
5:9 Lest thou give 5414-4 thine honour 1935 unto others, 312 and thy years 8141 unto the cruel: 394
5:10 Lest strangers 2114-5 be filled 7646-4 with thy wealth; 3581 and thy labours 6089 [be] in the house 1004 of a stranger; 5237
5:11 And thou mourn 5098-1 at the last, 319 when thy flesh 1320 and thy body 7607 are consumed, 3615-2
5:12 And say, 559-1 How have I hated 8130-1 instruction, 4148 and my heart 3820 despised 5006-1 reproof; 8433
5:13 And have not obeyed 8085-1 the voice 6963 of my teachers, 3384-56 nor inclined 5186-52 mine ear 241 to them that instructed 3925-18 me!
5:14 I was almost 4592 in all evil 7451 in the midst 8432 of the congregation 6951 and assembly. 5712
5:15 Drink 8354-3 waters 4325 out of thine own cistern, 953 and running waters 5140-6 out of 8432 thine own well. 875
5:16 Let thy fountains 4599 be dispersed 6327-4 abroad, 2351 [and] rivers 6388 of waters 4325 in the streets. 7339
5:17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' 2114-5 with thee.
5:18 Let thy fountain 4726 be blessed: 1288-7 and rejoice 8055-3 with the wife 802 of thy youth. 5271
5:19 [Let her be as] the loving 158 hind 365 and pleasant 2580 roe; 3280 let her breasts 1717 satisfy 7301-17 thee at all times; 6256 and be thou ravished 7686-4 always 8548 with her love. 160
5:20 And why wilt thou, my son, 1121 be ravished 7686-4 with a strange woman, 2114-5 and embrace 2263-17 the bosom 2436 of a stranger? 5237
5:21 For the ways 1870 of man 376 [are] before 5227 the eyes 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and he pondereth 6424-18 all his goings. 4570
5:22 His own iniquities 5771 shall take 3920-4 the wicked 7563 himself, and he shall be holden 8551-11 with the cords 2256 of his sins. 2403
5:23 He shall die 4191-4 without instruction; 4148 and in the greatness 7230 of his folly 200 he shall go astray. 7686- 4
