Proverbs 5:3-20

³For the lips of a strange woman drop as a honey-comb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

⁴But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

⁵Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

⁶Lest thou shouldst ponder the path of life, her ways are movable, that thou canst not know them .

⁷Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

⁹Lest thou give thy honor to others, and thy years to the cruel:

¹⁰Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labors be in the house of a stranger;

¹¹And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

¹²And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

¹³And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined my ear to them that instructed me!

¹⁴I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

¹⁵Drink waters out of thy own cistern, and running waters out of thy own well.

¹⁶Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.

¹⁷Let them be only thy own, and not for strangers with thee.

¹⁸Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.

¹⁹Let 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.

²⁰And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
