Proverbs 5

Verses of Proverbs 5 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - My son, pay attention to my wisdom; Lend your ear to my understanding,
2 - That you may preserve discretion, And your lips may keep knowledge.
3 - For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil;
4 - But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 - Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell.
6 - Lest you ponder her path of life--Her ways are unstable; You do not know them.
7 - Therefore hear me now, my children, And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 - Remove your way far from her, And do not go near the door of her house,
9 - Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one;
10 - Lest aliens be filled with your wealth, And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11 - And you mourn at last, When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 - And say: "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised correction!
13 - I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 - I was on the verge of total ruin, In the midst of the assembly and congregation."
15 - Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well.
16 - Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?
17 - Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you.
18 - Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.
19 - As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love.
20 - For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
21 - For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, And He ponders all his paths.
22 - His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
23 - He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
