My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Pro 22:17Pro 2:1Pro 4:20Rev 2:11Mrk 4:23Rev 2:17Rev 3:13Jas 1:19
Turn your ear to my understanding,
that you may maintain discretion, Mal 2:6-7Pro 15:7Pro 16:23Sng 4:11Pro 10:21Pro 15:2Psa 119:13Psa 45:2
that your lips may preserve knowledge.
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Pro 2:16Pro 6:24Pro 7:21Pro 7:5Psa 55:21Rev 17:2-6
Her mouth is smoother than oil,
but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, Ecc 7:26Psa 55:21Psa 57:4Heb 4:12Pro 9:18Heb 12:15-16Jdg 16:15-21Jdg 16:4-6
and as sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death. Pro 7:27Pro 2:18-19
Her steps lead straight to Sheol. 1
She gives no thought to the way of life. Pro 4:26Pro 5:21Psa 16:11Pro 30:20Pro 6:12-13Psa 119:592Th 2:9-10Pro 11:19
Her ways are crooked, and she doesn’t know it.
Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Pro 4:1Pro 22:17-21Pro 7:24Heb 12:25Pro 3:21Pro 4:21Pro 8:32-36
Don’t depart from the words of my mouth.
Remove your way far from her. Eph 5:11Pro 7:25Mat 6:13Pro 4:15Pro 6:27-28
Don’t come near the door of her house,
lest you give your honor to others, Neh 13:26Hos 4:13-14Gen 38:23-26Jdg 16:19-21Pro 6:29-35
and your years to the cruel one;
lest strangers feast on your wealth, Hos 7:9Pro 6:35Pro 31:3Luk 15:30
and your labors enrich another man’s house.
You will groan at your latter end, Rom 6:21Rev 22:15Heb 13:4Num 5:271Co 5:4-5Deu 32:29Jer 5:31Pro 7:23
when your flesh and your body are consumed,
and say, “How I have hated instruction, Pro 12:1Pro 1:22Pro 1:25Pro 1:7Pro 15:5Exo 2:13-14Jer 44:4Jhn 3:19-20
and my heart despised reproof.
I haven’t obeyed the voice of my teachers, 1Th 4:8Heb 13:7Luk 15:181Th 5:12-13
nor turned my ear to those who instructed me!
I have come to the brink of utter ruin, Pro 13:201Co 10:6-82Pe 2:10-18Hos 4:11-14Num 25:1-6Jud 1:7-13
among the gathered assembly.”
Drink water out of your own cistern, 1Co 7:2-5Heb 13:4Pro 5:18-19
running water out of your own well.
Should your springs overflow in the streets, Psa 128:3Psa 127:3Deu 33:28Gen 24:60Isa 48:21Jdg 12:9Psa 68:26
streams of water in the public squares?
Let them be for yourself alone,
not for strangers with you.
Let your spring be blessed. Ecc 9:9Mal 2:14-15Sng 4:15Sng 4:12
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
A loving doe and a graceful deer— Sng 7:3Sng 2:9Sng 4:5Sng 8:14Pro 5:15Sng 2:172Sa 12:4
let her breasts satisfy you at all times.
Be captivated always with her love.
For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Pro 6:24Pro 7:51Ki 11:1Pro 22:14Pro 23:27-28Pro 23:33Pro 2:16-19
Why embrace the bosom of another?
For the ways of man are before the LORD’s eyes. Heb 4:13Pro 15:3Jer 32:19Job 34:21Hos 7:2Jer 16:17Jer 23:24Psa 11:4
He examines all his paths.
The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. Pro 1:31-32Pro 11:5Eph 5:5-6Hos 4:11-14Num 32:23Pro 1:18Psa 9:151Co 5:9-10
The cords of his sin hold him firmly.
He will die for lack of instruction. Job 36:12Job 4:212Pe 2:15-22Pro 10:21Pro 14:32Pro 14:14Psa 81:12
In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray.
