Proverbs Chapter 5
An exhortation to fly unlawful lust, and the occasions of it.
5:1. My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence,
5:2. That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.
5:3. For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.
5:4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
5:5. Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.
5:6. They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.
5:7. Now, therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
5:8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.
