Proverbs 5

The Message Bible MSG

1 Dear friend, pay close attention to this, my wisdom; listen very closely to the way I see it.

2 Then you'll acquire a taste for good sense; what I tell you will keep you out of trouble.

3 The lips of a seductive woman are oh so sweet, her soft words are oh so smooth.

4 But it won't be long before she's gravel in your mouth, a pain in your gut, a wound in your heart.

5 She's dancing down the primrose path to Death; she's headed straight for Hell and taking you with her.

6 She hasn't a clue about Real Life, about who she is or where she's going.

7 So, my friend, listen closely; don't treat my words casually.

8 Keep your distance from such a woman; absolutely stay out of her neighborhood.

9 You don't want to squander your wonderful life, to waste your precious life among the hardhearted.

10 Why should you allow strangers to take advantage of you? Why be exploited by those who care nothing for you?

11 You don't want to end your life full of regrets, nothing but sin and bones,

12 Saying, "Oh, why didn't I do what they told me? Why did I reject a disciplined life?

13 Why didn't I listen to my mentors, or take my teachers seriously?

14 My life is ruined! I haven't one blessed thing to show for my life!" Never Take Love for Granted

15 Do you know the saying, "Drink from your own rain barrel, draw water from your own spring-fed well"?

16 It's true. Otherwise, you may one day come home and find your barrel empty and your well polluted.

17 Your spring water is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers.

18 Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!

19 Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose - don't ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted!

20 Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?

21 Mark well that God doesn't miss a move you make; he's aware of every step you take.

22 The shadow of your sin will overtake you; you'll find yourself stumbling all over yourself in the dark.

23 Death is the reward of an undisciplined life; your foolish decisions trap you in a dead end.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 fili mi adtende sapientiam meam et prudentiae meae inclina aurem tuam

2 ut custodias cogitationes et disciplinam labia tua conservent

3 favus enim stillans labia meretricis et nitidius oleo guttur eius

4 novissima autem illius amara quasi absinthium et acuta quasi gladius biceps

5 pedes eius descendunt in mortem et ad inferos gressus illius penetrant

6 per semitam vitae non ambulat vagi sunt gressus eius et investigabiles

7 nunc ergo fili audi me et ne recedas a verbis oris mei

8 longe fac ab ea viam tuam et ne adpropinques foribus domus eius

9 ne des alienis honorem tuum et annos tuos crudeli

10 ne forte impleantur extranei viribus tuis et labores tui sint in domo aliena

11 et gemas in novissimis quando consumpseris carnes et corpus tuum et dicas

12 cur detestatus sum disciplinam et increpationibus non adquievit cor meum

13 nec audivi vocem docentium me et magistris non inclinavi aurem meam

14 paene fui in omni malo in medio ecclesiae et synagogae

15 bibe aquam de cisterna tua et fluenta putei tui

16 deriventur fontes tui foras et in plateis aquas tuas divide

17 habeto eas solus nec sint alieni participes tui

18 sit vena tua benedicta et laetare cum muliere adulescentiae tuae

19 cerva carissima et gratissimus hinulus ubera eius inebrient te omni tempore in amore illius delectare iugiter

20 quare seduceris fili mi ab aliena et foveris sinu alterius

21 respicit Dominus vias hominis et omnes gressus illius considerat

22 iniquitates suae capiunt impium et funibus peccatorum suorum constringitur

23 ipse morietur quia non habuit disciplinam et multitudine stultitiae suae decipietur
