Douay Bible - Proverbs Chapter 5

Proverbs 5:1
My son, attend to my wisdom, and incline thy ear to my prudence.

Proverbs 5:2
That thou mayst keep thoughts, and thy lips may preserve instruction. Mind not the deceit of a woman.

Proverbs 5:3
For the lips of a harlot are like a honeycomb dropping, and her throat is smoother than oil.

Proverbs 5:4
But her end is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.

Proverbs 5:5
Her feet go down into death, and her steps go in as far as hell.

Proverbs 5:6
They walk not by the path of life, her steps are wandering, and unaccountable.

Proverbs 5:7
Now therefore, my son, hear me, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

Proverbs 5:8
Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.

Proverbs 5:9
Give not thy honour to strangers, and thy years to the cruel.

Proverbs 5:10
Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, and thy labours be in another man’s house,

Proverbs 5:11
And thou mourn it the last, when thou shalt have spent thy flesh and thy body, and say:

Proverbs 5:12
Why have I hated instruction, and my heart consented not to reproof,

Proverbs 5:13
And have not heard the voice of them that taught me, and have not in- dined my ear to masters?

Proverbs 5:14
I have almost been in all evil, in the midst of the church and of the congregation.

Proverbs 5:15
Drink water out of thy own cistern, and the streams of thy own well:

Proverbs 5:16
Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters.

Proverbs 5:17
Keep them to thyself alone, neither let strangers be partakers with thee.

Proverbs 5:18
Let thy vein be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth:

Proverbs 5:19
Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.

Proverbs 5:20
Why art thou seduced, my son, by a strange woman, and art cherished in the bosom of another ?

Proverbs 5:21
The Lord beholdeth the ways of man, and considereth all his steps.

Proverbs 5:22
His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.

Proverbs 5:23
He shall die, because he hath not received instruction, and in the multitude of his folly he shall be deceived.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...

Proverbs 12:1 He that loveth correction, loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is foolish. Proverbs 12:2 He that is good, shall draw grace from the Lord : but he that trusteth in his own devices doth wickedly. Proverbs 12:3 Men shall not be strengthened by wickedness: and the root of the just shall not be moved.
