Proverbs Chapter 5

 

1 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.

Mal 2:7  For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:

Prov
2:16  To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
6:24  To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.

Psalm 55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edged sword.

Eccl 7:26  And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

Heb 4:12  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

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

Prov 7:27  Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

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;

Prov
1:25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
1:29  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
12:1   Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

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.

Mal 2:14  Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

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.

Song of Sol
2:9 My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
4:5  Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

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

Prov 2:16  To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

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

2 Chron 16:9  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

Job 31:4  Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

Prov 15:3  The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Jer 16:17  Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

Hos 7:2  And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

Heb 4:13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

Psalms 9:15  The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

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

Job
4:21  Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
36:12  But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
