MY son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017173">2</a>. That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017174">3</a>. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017175">4</a>. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017176">5</a>. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017177">6</a>. Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017178">7</a>. Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017179">8</a>. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017180">9</a>. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017181">10</a>. Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017182">11</a>. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017183">12</a>. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017184">13</a>. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017185">14</a>. I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017186">15</a>. Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017187">16</a>. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017188">17</a>. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017189">18</a>. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017190">19</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017191">20</a>. And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017192">21</a>. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017193">22</a>. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017194">23</a>. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.</li>
