잠언 5장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 My sonne, geue hede vnto my wysdome, & bowe thine eare vnto my prudece:
- 2 yt thou mayest regarde good councell, and that thy lippes maye kepe nurtoure.
- 3 For the lippes of an harlot are a droppinge hony combe, and hir throte is softer then oyle.
- 4 But at ye last she is as bitter as wormwod, and as sharpe as a two edged swerde.
- 5 Hir fete go downe vnto death, and hir steppes pearse thorow vnto hell.
- 6 She regardeth not the path of life, so vnstedfast are hir wayes, that thou canst not knowe them.
- 7 Heare me therfore (o my sonne) and departe not fro the wordes of my mouth.
- 8 Kepe thy waye farre from her, and come not nye ye dores of hir house.
- 9 That thou geue not thine honor vnto another, and thy yeares to the cruell.
- 10 That other men be not fylled with thy goodes, & that thy labours come not in a straunge house.
- 11 Yee that thou mourne not at the last (when thou hast spent thy body and goodes)
- 12 and then saye: Alas, why hated I nurtoure? why dyd my hert despyse correccion?
- 13 Wherfore was not I obedient vnto the voyce of my teachers, & herkened not vnto them that infourmed me?
- 14 I am come almost in to all mysfortune, in the myddest of the multitude and congregacion.
- 15 Drinke of the water of thine owne well, and of the ryuers that runne out of thine owne spriges.
- 16 Let yi welles flowe out a brode, that there maye be ryuers of water in the stretes.
- 17 But let them be only thine owne, & not straungers with the.
- 18 Let thy well be blessed, and be glad with the wife of thy youth.
- 19 Louynge is the hynde, and frendly is the Roo: let her brestes alwaye satisfie the, and holde the euer content with hir loue.
- 20 My sonne, why wilt thou haue pleasure in an harlot, and embrace the bosome of another woma?
- 21 For euery mas wayes are open in the sight of the LORDE, and he podereth all their goinges.
- 22 The wickednesses of the vngodly shal catch himself, and with the snares of his owne synnes shal he be trapped.
- 23 Because he wolde not be refourmed, he shal dye: and for his greate foolishnesse he shal be destroyed.
