Proverbs 3 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs 3 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the
stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto
death, and her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, neither
take they hold of the paths of life.

Proverbs !  For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is
smoother than oil: But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-
edged sword. Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol; 6. So
that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she
knoweth it not.

Proverbs "#Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not
from the words of my mouth. Remove thy way far from her, $
  % And
come not nigh the door of her house; Lest thou give thine honor unto others,
And thy years unto the cruel; Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy
labors be in the house of an alien, And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy
flesh and thy body are consumed, And say, How have I hated instruction, And
my heart despised reproof; Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers,
$

&

&  
 




% Nor inclined mine ear to
them that instructed me!

I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation. $

  % Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine
own well. $
 





  %Should thy springs be dispersed
abroad, And streams of water in the streets. Let them be for thyself alone, And
not for strangers with thee. $ 


'


  



 
 

% Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of
thy youth. $

Proverbs 33!For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he
maketh level all his paths. His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall
be holden with the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction; And in
the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 3!3 For the commandment is a lamp; And the law is light; And
reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman,
From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue. Lust not after her beauty in thy
heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For on account of a harlot
$

% a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress
hunteth for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes
not be burned? Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?
So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; $
  %Whosoever toucheth
her shall not be unpunished.

Proverbs !3!  He that committeth adultery with a woman $

(
 





 



% is void of understanding: He
doeth it who would destroy his own soul. Wounds and dishonor shall he get;
And his reproach shall not be wiped awayFor jealousy is the rage of a man;
(Jesus) And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. $

 

) % He
will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest
many gifts.
Proverbs "*3" Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; And call understanding
thy kinswoman:

That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that
flattereth with her words. $

For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice; And I beheld
among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of
understanding, Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the
way to her house, In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the
night and in the darkness. And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire
of a harlot, and wily of heart. She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in
her house: $

  %Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And
lieth in wait at every corner. $
 

  

 


(







 % So she caught him, and kissed him, And with
an impudent face she said unto him:

Sacrifices of peace-offerings are with me; This day have I paid my vows.
Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have
found thee. I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped
cloths of the yarn of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed With myrrh, aloes, and
cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace
ourselves with loves. For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey: He
hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon. $






% With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield;
With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along. $

 
 



%

He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in

fetters to the correction of the fool; Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a
bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life. Now therefore,
my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth. Let not thy
heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down
many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host$

% Her
house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs !# The foolish woman is clamorous; She is simple, and knoweth
nothing. And she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places
of the city, To call to them that pass by, Who go right on their ways:

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; And as for him that is void of
understanding, she saith to him, Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in
secret is pleasant. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; That her guests
are in the depths of Sheol.

Proverbs 3 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a
contentious woman in a wide house.c

Proverbs 3!3!  My son, give me thy heart; And let thine eyes delight in my
ways. For a harlot $

% is a deep ditch; And a foreign woman $

  % is a narrow pit. Yea, she lieth in wait as a robber, $

  % And
increases the treacherous among men. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who
hath contentions? Who hath complaining? Who hath wounds without cause?
Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; They that go to
seek out mixed wine. $

Look not thou upon thewine when it is red, $
 


%When it sparkleth in
the cup, When it goeth down smoothly At the last it biteth like a serpent, And
stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange things, And thy heart
shall utter perverse things. Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the
midst of the sea, Or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast. They have stricken
me, shalt thou say, and I was not hurt; They have beaten me, and I felt it not:
When shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Proverbs !,3 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, And
yet are not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, oh how lofty
are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation whose
teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, To devour the poor from off
the earth, and the needy from among men. $

Proverbs !,!A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above
rubies.

The heart of her husband trusteth in her, And he shall have no lack of gain. She
doeth him good and not evil All the days of her life.

She seeketh wool and flax, And worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the
merchant-ships; She bringeth her bread from afar. (missionary work) She riseth
also while it is yet night, And giveth food to her household, $

Spirit) goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the distaff, And her
hands hold the spindle. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; Yea, she
reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

idleness. Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband $0
