Proverbs 5

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

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight,
2 - that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 - For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;
4 - but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 - Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
6 - She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths are crooked, but she knows it not.
7 - Now then, my sons, listen to me; do not turn aside from what I say.
8 - Keep to a path far from her, do not go near the door of her house,
9 - lest you give your best strength to others and your years to one who is cruel,
10 - lest strangers feast on your wealth and your toil enrich another man's house.
11 - At the end of your life you will groan, when your flesh and body are spent.
12 - You will say, "How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction!
13 - I would not obey my teachers or listen to my instructors.
14 - I have come to the brink of utter ruin in the midst of the whole assembly."
15 - Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well.
16 - Should your springs overflow in the streets, your streams of water in the public squares?
17 - Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.
18 - May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 - A loving doe, a graceful deer- may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love.
20 - Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man's wife?
21 - For a man's ways are in full view of the LORD, and he examines all his paths.
22 - The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast.
23 - He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
