My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Words | Detail
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Words | Detail
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Words | Detail
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Words | Detail
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Words | Detail
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Words | Detail
Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Words | Detail
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Words | Detail
Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Words | Detail
Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Words | Detail
And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
Words | Detail
And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Words | Detail
And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Words | Detail
I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.

Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Words | Detail
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Words | Detail
Let 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.
Words | Detail
And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Words | Detail
For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Words | Detail
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Words | Detail
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
