Proverbs 5

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 My son, attend unto my wisdom and bow thine ear to my understanding,

2 that thou mayest have regard for discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.

3 For the lips of a strange woman drip as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil;

4 but her end is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

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

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

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

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

9 lest thou give thine honor unto others, and thy years unto the cruel,

10 lest strangers be filled with thy wealth and thy labors be in the house of a stranger,

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

12 and thou sayest, "How have I hated instruction and my heart despised reproof;

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 Let 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.

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

21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and He pondereth all his doings.

22 His own iniquities shall entrap the wicked himself, and he shall be held by the cords of his sins.

23 He shall die without instruction, and in the greatness of his folly shall he go astray.

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
