Proverbs 5
- 1 My son, attend to my wisdom, and bow your ear to my understanding:
- 2 That you may regard discretion, and that your 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 you should ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that you can not know them.
- 7 Hear me now therefore, O you children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
- 8 Remove your way far from her, and come not near the door of her house:
- 9 Lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel:
- 10 Lest strangers be filled with your wealth; and your labors be in the house of a stranger;
- 11 And you mourn at the last, when your flesh and your 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 my ear to them that instructed me!
- 14 I was almost in all evil in the middle of the congregation and assembly. ¶
- 15 Drink waters out of your own cistern, and running waters out of your own well.
- 16 Let your fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
- 17 Let them be only your own, and not strangers’ with you.
- 18 Let your fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
- 19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and be you ravished always with her love.
- 20 And why will you, 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 ponders all his goings. ¶
- 22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be held with the cords of his sins.
- 23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
