Prouerbs 5

1 Solomon exhorteth to the study of wisdom. 3 He sheweth the mischief of whoredom and riot. 15 He exhorteth to contentedness, liberality, and charity. 22 The wicked are overtaken with their own sins.

 5:1 ¶ My sonne, 1121 attend 7181 z8685 vnto my wisedome, 2451 [and] bowe 5186 z8685 thine eare 241 to my vnderstanding. 8394

 5:2 That thou mayest regard 8104 z8800 discretion, 4209 and [that] thy lips 8193 may keepe 5341 z8799 knowledge. 1847

 5:3 ¶ For x3588 the lips 8193 of a strange [woman] 2114 z8801 drop 5197 z8799 [as] an hony combe, 5317 and her mouth 2441 [is] smoother 2509 then oyle. 8081 x4480

 5:4 But her end 319 is bitter 4751 as wormewood, 3939 sharpe 2299 as a two edged 6310 sword. 2719

 5:5 Her feete 7272 goe downe 3381 z8802 to death: 4194 her steps 6806 take hold 8551 z8799 on hell. 7585

 5:6 Lest x6435 thou shouldest ponder 6424 z8762 the path 734 of life, 2416 her wayes 4570 are moueable, 5128 z8804 [that] thou canst not x3808 know 3045 z8799 [them].

 5:7 Heare 8085 z8798 me now x6258 therefore, O yee children: 1121 & depart 5493 z8799 not x408 from the words 561 x4480 of my mouth. 6310

 5:8 Remoue y7368 z0 thy way y1870 farre 7368 z8685 x1870 from x4480 x5921 her, and come not nie 7126 z8799 x408 x413 the doore 6607 of her house: 1004

 5:9 Lest x6435 thou giue 5414 z8799 thine honour 1935 vnto others, 312 and thy yeeres 8141 vnto the cruell: 394

 5:10 Lest x6435 strangers 2114 z8801 be filled 7646 z8799 with thy wealth, 3581 and thy labors 6089 [be] in the house 1004 of a stranger, 5237

 5:11 And thou mourne 5098 z8804 at the last, 319 when thy flesh 1320 and thy body 7607 are consumed, 3615 z8800

 5:12 And say, 559 z8804 How x349 haue I hated 8130 z8804 instruction, 4148 and my heart 3820 despised 5006 z8804 reproofe? 8433

 5:13 And haue not x3808 obeyed 8085 z8804 the voyce 6963 of my teachers, 3384 z8688 nor x3808 inclined 5186 z8689 mine eare 241 to them that instructed 3925 z8764 me?

 5:14 I was x1961 almost 4592 in all x3605 euill, 7451 in the midst 8432 of the congregation 6951 & assembly. 5712

 5:15 ¶ Drinke 8354 z8798 waters 4325 out of thine owne cisterne, 953 x4480 and running waters 5140 z8802 out of 8432 x4480 thine owne well. 875

 5:16 Let thy fountaines 4599 bee dispersed 6327 z8799 abroad, 2351 [and] riuers 6388 of waters 4325 in the streets. 7339

 5:17 Let them be x1961 onely x905 thine owne, and not x369 strangers 2114 z8801 with x854 thee.

 5:18 Let thy fountaine 4726 be x1961 blessed: 1288 z8803 and reioyce 8055 z8798 with the wife 802 x4480 of thy youth. 5271

 5:19 [Let her bee as] the louing 158 Hinde 365 and pleasant 2580 Roe, 3280 let her breasts 1717 satisfie 7301 z8762 thee at all x3605 times, 6256 and be thou rauisht 7686 z8799 alwayes 8548 with her loue. 160

 5:20 And why x4100 wilt thou, my sonne, 1121 be rauisht 7686 z8799 with a strange woman, 2114 z8801 and imbrace 2263 z8762 the bosome 2436 of a stranger? 5237

 5:21 For x3588 the wayes 1870 of man 376 [are] before 5227 the eyes 5869 of the LORD, 3068 and he pondereth 6424 z8764 all x3605 his goings. 4570
