005:001 | My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: |
005:002 | That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. |
005:003 | For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: |
005:004 | But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. |
005:005 | Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. |
005:006 | Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them. |
005:007 | Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth. |
005:008 | Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: |
005:009 | Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: |
005:010 | Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; |
005:011 | And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, |
005:012 | And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; |
005:013 | And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! |
005:014 | I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly. |
005:015 | Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. |
005:016 | Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. |
005:017 | Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. |
005:018 | Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. |
005:019 | 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. |
005:020 | And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? |
005:021 | For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. |
005:022 | His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. |
005:023 | He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. |
006:001 | My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, |
006:002 | Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. |
006:003 | Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. |
006:004 | Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. |
006:005 | Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. |
006:006 | Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: |
006:007 | Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, |
006:008 | Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. |
006:009 | How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? |
006:010 | Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: |
006:011 | So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. |
006:012 | A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. |
006:013 | He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; |
006:014 | Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. |
006:015 | Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. |
006:016 | These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: |
006:017 | A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, |
006:018 | An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, |
006:019 | A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. |
006:020 | My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: |
006:021 | Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. |
006:022 | When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. |
006:023 | For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: |
006:024 | To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. |
006:025 | Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. |
006:026 | For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adultress will hunt for the precious life. |
006:027 | Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? |
006:028 | Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? |
006:029 | So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. |
006:030 | Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; |
006:031 | But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. |
006:032 | But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. |
006:033 | A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. |
006:034 | For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. |
006:035 | He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. |
007:001 | My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. |
007:002 | Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. |
007:003 | Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. |
007:004 | Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: |
007:005 | That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. |
007:006 | For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, |
007:007 | And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, |
007:008 | Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, |
007:009 | In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: |
007:010 | And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. |
007:011 | (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house: |
007:012 | Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) |
007:013 | So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, |
007:014 | I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows. |
007:015 | Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. |
007:016 | I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. |
007:017 | I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. |
007:018 | Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. |
007:019 | For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: |
007:020 | He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. |
007:021 | With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. |
007:022 | He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; |
007:023 | Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. |
007:024 | Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth. |
007:025 | Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. |
007:026 | For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. |
007:027 | Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. |
008:001 | Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? |
008:002 | She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. |
008:003 | She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. |
008:004 | Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. |
008:005 | O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart. |
008:006 | Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things. |
008:007 | For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips. |
008:008 | All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. |
008:009 | They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge. |
008:010 | Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. |
008:011 | For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. |
008:012 | I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. |
008:013 | The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. |
008:014 | Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. |
008:015 | By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. |
008:016 | By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth. |
008:017 | I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. |
008:018 | Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. |
008:019 | My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. |
008:020 | I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment: |
008:021 | That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. |
008:022 | The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. |
008:023 | I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. |
008:024 | When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. |
008:025 | Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: |
008:026 | While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. |
008:027 | When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: |
008:028 | When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: |
008:029 | When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: |
008:030 | Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; |
008:031 | Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. |
008:032 | Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. |
008:033 | Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. |
008:034 | Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. |
008:035 | For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. |
008:036 | But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. |
009:001 | Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: |
009:002 | She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. |
009:003 | She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, |
009:004 | Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, |
009:005 | Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. |
009:006 | Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. |
009:007 | He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. |
009:008 | Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. |
009:009 | Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. |
009:010 | The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. |
009:011 | For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. |
009:012 | If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. |
009:013 | A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. |
009:014 | For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, |
009:015 | To call passengers who go right on their ways: |
009:016 | Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, |
009:017 | Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. |
009:018 | But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. |
