Proverb:5:1: My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Proverb:5:2: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Proverb:5:3: For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Proverb:5:4: But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.

Proverb:5:9: Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Proverb:5:10: Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Proverb:5:11: And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

Proverb:5:18: Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Proverb:5:19: 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.
Proverb:5:20: And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
