Proverbs 5 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ears to my understanding,
1 HIJO mío, está atento á mi sabiduría, y á mi inteligencia inclina tu oído;
2 so you may learn about discretion and your lips may protect knowledge.
2 Para que guardes consejo, y tus labios conserven la ciencia.
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip with honey and her mouth is smoother than oil,
3 Porque los labios de la extraña destilan miel, y su paladar es más blando que el aceite:
4 but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, cutting like a sharp sword.
4 Mas su fin es amargo como el ajenjo, agudo como cuchillo de dos filos.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps go all the way to Sheol.
5 Sus pies descienden á la muerte; sus pasos sustentan el sepulcro:
6 She gives no thought to the path of life. Her footsteps wander; she does not know where she is going.
6 Sus caminos son instables; no [los] conocerás, si no considerares el camino de vida.
7 Now, my sons, listen to me; do not turn away from listening to the words of my mouth.
7 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y no os apartéis de las razones de mi boca.
8 Keep your path far away from her and do not come near the door of her house.
8 Aleja de ella tu camino, y no te acerques á la puerta de su casa;
9 In that way you will not give away your honor to others or years of your life to a cruel person;
9 Porque no des á los extraños tu honor, y tus años á cruel;
10 strangers will not feast on your wealth; what you have worked for will not go into the house of strangers.
10 Porque no se harten los extraños de tu fuerza, y tus trabajos [estén] en casa del extraño;
11 At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body waste away.
11 Y gimas en tus postrimerías, cuando se consumiere tu carne y tu cuerpo,
12 You will say, “How I hated instruction and my heart despised correction!
12 Y digas: ¡Cómo aborrecí el consejo, y mi corazón menospreció la reprensión;
13 I would not obey my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.
13 Y no oí la voz de los que me adoctrinaban, y á los que me enseñaban no incliné mi oído!
14 I was almost completely ruined in the midst of the assembly, among the gathering of the people.”
14 Casi en todo mal he estado, en medio de la sociedad y de la congregación.
15 Drink water from your own cistern and drink running water from your own well.
15 Bebe el agua de tu cisterna, y los raudales de tu pozo.
16 Should your springs overflow everywhere and your streams of water flow in the public squares?
16 Derrámense por de fuera tus fuentes, en las plazas los ríos de aguas.
17 Let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.
17 Sean para ti solo, y no para los extraños contigo.
18 May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth,
18 Sea bendito tu manantial; y alégrate con la mujer de tu mocedad.
19 for she is a loving deer and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be continually intoxicated by her love.
19 [Como] cierva amada y graciosa corza, sus pechos te satisfagan en todo tiempo; y en su amor recréate siempre.
20 For why should you, my son, be captivated by an adulteress; why should you embrace the breasts of an immoral woman?
20 ¿Y por qué, hijo mío, andarás ciego con la ajena, y abrazarás el seno de la extraña?
21 Yahweh sees everything a person does and watches all the paths he takes.
21 Pues que los caminos del hombre están ante los ojos de Jehová, y él considera todas sus veredas.
22 A wicked person will be seized by his own iniquities; the cords of his sin will hold him tight.
22 Prenderán al impío sus propias iniquidades, y detenido será con las cuerdas de su pecado.
23 He will die because he lacks instruction; he is led astray by his great foolishness.
23 El morirá por falta de corrección; y errará por la grandeza de su locura.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… in man." For He called all men that mourn; and granting forgiveness to those who had been led into captivity by their sins, He loosed them from their chains, of whom Solomon says, "Every one shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Therefore did the Spirit of God descend upon Him, [the Spirit] of Him who had …
For it is even this Holy Spirit, whom the bad cannot receive, even He is that Fountain of which the Scripture saith, "Let the fountain of thy water be thine own, and let no stranger partake with thee." For all who love not God, are strangers, are antichrists.

… "Give not heed to a bad woman: for honey droppeth from the lips of a woman that is an harlot, which, for a season, is luscious unto thy throat; but afterwards thou shalt find it more bitter than gall, and sharper than a two-edged sword." Unto these last then let us listen, not unto those.

Let then thus much suffice concerning those outcasts; and now let us return to the divine Scriptures, and let us drink waters out of our own cisterns [that is, the holy Fathers ], and out of our own springing wells.

"The wicked shall be holden with the cords of his own sins." Thereby are they deceived, whereby they would deceive.
