Warnung vor Unzucht
5 Mein Sohn, achte auf meine Weisheit
und neige dein Ohr meiner Belehrung zu,
2 damit du Besonnenheit übst
und deine Lippen Erkenntnis bewahren!
3 Denn von Honig triefen die Lippen der Verführerin[a],
und glatter als Öl ist ihr Gaumen,
4 aber zuletzt ist sie bitter wie Wermut,
scharf wie ein zweischneidiges Schwert.
5 Ihre Füße steigen hinab zum Tod,
ihre Schritte streben dem Totenreich zu.
6 Den Pfad des Lebens erwägt sie nicht einmal;
sie geht eine unsichere Bahn, die sie selbst nicht kennt.
7 Und nun hört auf mich, ihr Söhne,
und weicht nicht von den Worten meines Mundes!
8 Bleibe fern von dem Weg, der zu ihr führt,
und nähere dich nicht der Tür ihres Hauses,
9 damit du nicht anderen deine Ehre opferst
und deine Jahre dem Grausamen,
10 damit sich nicht Fremde von deinem Vermögen sättigen
und du dich nicht abmühen musst für das Haus eines anderen,[b]
11 damit du nicht seufzen musst bei deinem Ende,
wenn dir dein Leib und Leben hinschwinden,
12 und sagen musst: »Warum habe ich doch die Zucht gehasst,
warum hat mein Herz die Zurechtweisung verachtet?
13 Ich habe nicht gehört auf die Stimme meiner Lehrer
und meinen Lehrmeistern kein Gehör geschenkt!
14 Fast wäre ich gänzlich ins Unglück geraten
inmitten der Versammlung und der Gemeinde!«
15 Trinke Wasser aus deiner eigenen Zisterne
und Ströme aus deinem eigenen Brunnen!
16 Sollen sich deine Quellen auf die Straße ergießen,
deine Wasserbäche auf die Plätze?
17 Sie sollen dir allein gehören
und keinem Fremden neben dir!
18 Deine Quelle sei gesegnet,
und freue dich an der Frau deiner Jugend!
19 Die liebliche Hindin,
die anmutige Gemse,
ihr Busen soll dich allezeit sättigen,
von ihrer Liebe sollst du stets entzückt sein!
20 Warum aber, mein Sohn, solltest du von einer Verführerin entzückt sein
und den Busen einer Fremden umarmen?
21 Denn die Wege eines jeden liegen klar vor den Augen des Herrn,
und Er achtet auf alle seine Pfade!
22 Den Gottlosen nehmen seine eigenen Missetaten gefangen,
und von den Stricken seiner Sünde wird er festgehalten.
23 Er stirbt an Zuchtlosigkeit,
und infolge seiner großen Torheit taumelt er dahin.

Warning About Adultery
5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom.
Listen to my words of understanding.
2 Be careful to use good sense.
Watch what you say.
3 The words of another man’s wife may seem sweet as honey.
Her words may be as pleasant as olive oil.
4 But in the end she will bring you sorrow.
She will cause you pain like a two-edged sword.
5 She is on the way to death.
Her steps are headed straight to the grave.
6 She gives no thought to life.
She does not know that her ways are wrong.
7 Now, my sons, listen to me.
Don’t ignore what I say.
8 Stay away from such a woman.
Don’t even go near the door of her house.
9 If you do, you will give your riches to others.
And the best years of your life will be given to someone who is cruel.
10 Strangers will enjoy your wealth.
And what you worked so hard for will go to someone else.
11 You will groan at the end of your life.
Then your health will be gone.
12 Then you will say, “I hated self-control!
I would not listen when I was corrected!
13 I would not listen to my teachers.
I paid no attention to what they taught me.
14 I have come very close to being completely ruined
in front of a whole group of people.”
15 Be faithful to your own wife.
She is like your own well of water from which you drink.
16 You wouldn’t drink from streams
flowing in the city streets or squares.
So be satisfied with your wife,
not those outside your home.
17 These things are yours alone.
Don’t share them with strangers.
18 Be happy with the wife
you married when you were young.
She gives you joys
as your fountain gives you water.
19 She is as lovely and graceful as a deer.
Let her love always make you happy.
Let her love always hold you captive.
20 My son, don’t be held captive by a woman who takes part in adultery.
Don’t hold another man’s wife.
21 The Lord sees everything you do.
He watches where you go.
22 An evil man will be caught in his evil ways.
He will be tied up by his sins as if they were ropes.
23 He will die because he does not control himself.
He will be held captive by his own foolishness.

Warning Against Adultery
5 My son,(A) pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words(B) of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(C)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(D)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(E)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(F)
7 Now then, my sons, listen(G) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(H)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(I)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(J)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(K)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(L)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(M) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(N)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(O)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?
