Young's Literal Translation YLT	Nestle-Aland Greek NT (1993) N/A GNT
← Proverbs Pro 5 →
[1]My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding incline thine ear,	[No book]
[2]To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep.	[No book]
[3]For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother than oil [is] her mouth,	[No book]
[4]And her latter end [is] bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword [with] mouths.	[No book]
[5]Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take hold of.	[No book]
[6]The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths -- thou knowest not.	[No book]
[7]And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings of my mouth.	[No book]
[8]Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the opening of her house,	[No book]
[9]Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the fierce,	[No book]
[10]Lest strangers be filled [with] thy power, And thy labours in the house of a stranger,	[No book]
[11]And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption of thy flesh and thy food,	[No book]
[12]And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof hath my heart despised,	[No book]
[13]And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And to my teachers have not inclined mine ear.	[No book]
[14]As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an assembly and a company.	[No book]
[15]Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones out of thine own well.	[No book]
[16]Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places rivulets of waters.	[No book]
[17]Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with thee.	[No book]
[18]Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the wife of thy youth,	[No book]
[19]A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually.	[No book]
[20]And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger? And embrace the bosom of a strange woman?	[No book]
[21]For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each, And all his paths He is pondering.	[No book]
[22]His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the ropes of his sin he is holden.	[No book]
[23]He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his folly magnifieth himself!	[No book]
