| 1 | My son, pay attention to my wisdom. Turn your ear to my understanding: | Pr 2:1 Pr 4:1 Pr 4:20 Mt 3:9 Mk 4:23 Rev 2:7 Rev 2:11 Rev 2:17 Rev 2:29 Rev 3:6 Rev 3:13 Rev 3:22 |
| 2 | That you may maintain discretion, That your lips may preserve knowledge. | Pr 10:21 Pr 15:2 Pr 15:7 Pr 16:23 Pr 20:15 Ps 45:2 Ps 71:15 Ps 119:13 So 4:11 Mal 2:6 Mal 2:7 |
| 3 | For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil, | Pr 2:16 Pr 6:24 Pr 7:21 Rev 17:2-6 |
| 4 | But in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, And as sharp as a two-edged sword. | Pr 6:24-35 Pr 7:22 Pr 7:23 Pr 9:18 Pr 23:27 Pr 23:28 Ec 7:26 Heb 12:15 Heb 12:16 |
| 5 | Her feet go down to death. Her steps lead straight to Sheol. | Pr 2:18 Pr 2:19 Pr 7:27 |
| 6 | She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn`t know it. | Pr 4:26 Ps 119:59 |
| 7 | Now therefore, my sons, listen to me. Don`t depart from the words of my mouth. | Pr 4:1 Pr 8:32-36 Pr 22:17-21 Heb 12:25 |
| 8 | Remove your way far from her. Don`t come near the door of her house, | Pr 4:15 Pr 6:27 Pr 6:28 Mt 6:13 Eph 5:11 |
| 9 | Lest you give your honor to others, And your years to the cruel one; | Pr 6:29-35 Gn 38:23-26 Jg 16:19-21 Ne 13:26 Hos 4:13 Hos 4:14 |
| 10 | Lest strangers feast on your wealth, And your labors enrich another man`s house. | Pr 6:35 Hos 7:9 Lk 15:30 |
| 11 | You will groan at your latter end, When your flesh and your body are consumed, | Pr 7:23 Dt 32:29 Jer 5:31 Ro 6:21 Heb 13:4 Rev 21:8 Rev 22:15 |
| 12 | And say, "How I have hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof; | Pr 1:7 Pr 1:22 Pr 1:29 Pr 1:30 Pr 15:5 Ps 50:17 Ps 73:22 Zc 7:11-14 Jn 3:19 Jn 3:20 |
| 13 | Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor turned my ear to those who instructed me! | Lk 15:18 1Th 4:8 1Th 5:12 1Th 5:13 Heb 13:7 |
| 14 | I have come to the brink of utter ruin, In the midst of the gathered assembly." | Pr 13:20 Nm 25:1-6 Hos 4:11-14 1Co 10:6-8 2Pe 2:10-18 Jud 1:7-13 |
| 15 | Drink water out of your own cistern, Running water out of your own well. | Pr 5:18 Pr 5:19 1Co 7:2-5 Heb 13:4 |
| 16 | Should your springs overflow in the streets, Streams of water in the public squares? | Dt 33:28 Ps 68:26 Isa 48:21 |
| 17 | Let them be for yourself alone, Not for strangers with you. |
| 18 | Let your spring be blessed. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. | Ec 9:9 Mal 2:14 Mal 2:15 |
| 19 | A loving hind and a pleasant doe -- Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be captivated always with her love. | So 2:9 So 4:5 So 7:3 So 8:14 |
| 20 | For why should you, my son, be captivated with an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another? | Pr 2:16-19 Pr 6:24 Pr 7:5 Pr 22:14 Pr 23:27 Pr 23:28 Pr 23:33 1Ki 11:1 |
| 21 | For the ways of man are before the eyes of Yahweh. He examines all his paths. | Pr 15:3 2Ch 16:9 Jb 31:4 Jb 34:21 Ps 11:4 Ps 17:3 Ps 139:1-12 Jer 16:17 Jer 17:10 Jer 23:24 Jer 32:19 Hos 7:2 Heb 4:13 Rev 2:18 Rev 2:23 |
| 22 | The evil deeds of the wicked ensnare him. The cords of his sin hold him firmly. | Pr 1:18 Pr 1:31 Pr 11:3 Pr 11:5 Ps 7:15 Ps 7:16 Ps 9:15 Jer 2:19 Hos 4:11-14 Ga 6:7 Ga 6:8 |
| 23 | He will die for lack of instruction. In the greatness of his folly, he will go astray. | Pr 10:21 Pr 14:32 Jb 4:21 Jb 36:12 |
