Proverbs 5
Jubilee Bible 2000
5 ¶ My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my intelligence;
2 that thou may keep council and that thy lips may conserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the strange woman drop as a honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death, her steps uphold Sheol,
6 lest thou should ponder the path of life, her ways are unstable; thou shalt not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye sons, and do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and do not come near the door of her house,
9 lest thou give thine honour unto others and thy years unto the cruel,
10 lest strangers be filled with thy wealth, and thy labours be in the house of a stranger,
11 and thou mourn at the last when thy flesh and thy body are consumed
12 and say, How have I hated chastening and my heart despised reproof
13 and have not obeyed the voice of those who chastened me, nor inclined my ear to those that instructed me!
14 I have been in almost every kind of evil, in the midst of society and of the congregation.
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 thy waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own and not for strangers with thee.
18 Thy fountain shall 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, without eyes for anyone else.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a woman belonging to someone else, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he weighs all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take hold of the wicked, and he shall be imprisoned with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die because he did not submit to chastening; and due to the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbs 5
King James Version
5 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged 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 moveable, 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 honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, 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 all 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 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 goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbios 5
Palabra de Dios para Todos
El peligro de la inmoralidad sexual
5 Hijo mío, presta atención a mi sabiduría
y escucha atentamente mis consejos.
2 Así tendrás prudencia
y cuidarás bien tus palabras.
3 Si la mujer de otro habla con voz dulce
y su lengua es más suave que el aceite,
4 al final, ella sólo te traerá amargura y dolor,
será más cortante que una espada de dos filos.
5 Ella te conduce por un camino que lleva a la muerte;
sus pasos van directamente al sepulcro.
6 A ella no le interesa el camino de la vida,
ni tiene conciencia de que va por el mal camino.
7 Ahora pues, hijos míos, escúchenme,
obedezcan mis palabras.
8 Aléjate de la mujer que comete adulterio;
ni siquiera te acerques a la puerta de su casa,
9 para que no seas avergonzado
ni algún extraño se quede con lo que trabajaste durante años;
10 para que ningún extraño se llene con tus bienes,
ni vaya a parar a casa ajena el fruto de tu trabajo.
11 Al final de tu vida, estarás triste por haber arruinado tu salud
y por haber perdido todo lo que tenías.
12 Entonces dirás: «¿Por qué no escuché a mis padres?
¿Por qué no escuché a mis maestros?
13 Me negué a ser disciplinado,
me negué a ser corregido.
14 Ahora sufro casi la ruina total
y soy juzgado ante toda la comunidad».
15 Bebe sólo el agua de tu propia fuente
y no permitas que tu agua se derrame por las calles.[a]
16 No te conviertas en papá
de niños nacidos fuera de tu hogar.
17 No tengas hijos que otros van a criar;
ellos deben pertenecerte sólo a ti.
18 Así que sé feliz con tu esposa,
disfruta a la mujer con la que te casaste de joven;
19 hermosa cervatilla, gacela encantadora.
Que sus senos te satisfagan por completo,
que su amor te apasione para siempre.
20 ¿Por qué, hijo mío, dejarte seducir por la mujer de otro?
¿Por qué abrazar el seno de la extraña?
21 El SEÑOR está atento a lo que hace
cada hombre y observa por dónde anda.
22 El perverso quedará atrapado en su propia maldad;
su pecado será como sogas que lo atrapan.
23 Su falta de disciplina lo llevará a la muerte,
su insensatez acabará con él.
