Notes on this text (2)

1 Υιέ μου, πρόσεχε εις την σοφίαν μου, κλίνον το ωτίον σου εις την σύνεσίν μου· 2 διά να τηρής φρόνησιν και τα χείλη σου να φυλάττωσι γνώσιν. 3 Διότι τα χείλη της αλλοτρίας γυναικός στάζουσιν ως κηρήθρα μέλιτος, και ο ουρανίσκος αυτής είναι μαλακώτερος ελαίου· 4 το τέλος όμως αυτής είναι πικρόν ως αψίνθιον, οξύ ως μάχαιρα δίστομος. 5 Οι πόδες αυτής καταβαίνουσιν εις θάνατον· τα βήματα αυτής καταντώσιν εις τον άδην. 6 διά να μη γνωρίσης την οδόν της ζωής, αι πορείαι αυτής είναι άστατοι και ουχί ευδιάγνωστοι. 7 Ακούσατέ μου λοιπόν τώρα, τέκνα, και μη αποστραφήτε τους λόγους του στόματός μου. 8 Απομάκρυνον την οδόν σου απ' αυτής, και μη πλησιάσης εις την θύραν του οίκου αυτής, 9 διά να μη δώσης την τιμήν σου εις άλλους και τα έτη σου εις τους ανελεήμονας· 10 διά να μη χορτασθώσι ξένοι από της περιουσίας σου και οι κόποι σου έλθωσιν εις οίκον αλλοτρίου, 11 και συ στενάζης εις τα έσχατά σου, όταν η σαρξ σου και το σώμα σου καταναλωθώσι, 12 και λέγης, Πως εμίσησα την παιδείαν, και η καρδία μου κατεφρόνησε τους ελέγχους, 13 και δεν υπήκουσα εις την φωνήν των διδασκόντων με, ουδέ έκλινα το ωτίον μου εις τους νουθετούντάς με. 14 Παρ' ολίγον έπεσον εις παν κακόν, εν μέσω της συνάξεως και της συναγωγής. 15 Πίνε ύδατα εκ της δεξαμενής σου και πηγάζοντα εκ του φρέατός σου· 16 Ας εκχέωνται έξω αι πηγαί σου, και τα ρυάκια των υδάτων σου εις τας πλατείας· 17 σου μόνου ας ήναι αυτά, και ουχί ξένων μετά σού· 18 η πηγή σου ας ήναι ευλογημένη· και ευφραίνου μετά της γυναικός της νεότητός σου. 19 Ας ήναι εις σε ως έλαφος ερασμία και δορκάς κεχαριτωμένη· ας σε ποτίζωσιν οι μαστοί αυτής εν παντί καιρώ· ευφραίνου πάντοτε εις την αγάπην αυτής. 20 Και διά τι, υιέ μου, θέλεις θέλγεσθαι υπό ξένης και θέλεις εναγκαλίζεσθαι κόλπον αλλοτρίας; 21 Διότι του ανθρώπου αι οδοί είναι ενώπιον των οφθαλμών του Κυρίου, και σταθμίζει πάσας τας πορείας αυτού. 22 Αι ίδιαι αυτού ανομίαι θέλουσι συλλάβει τον ασεβή, και με τα σχοινία της αμαρτίας αυτού θέλει σφίγγεσθαι. 23 Ούτος θέλει αποθάνει απαίδευτος και εκ του πλήθους της αφροσύνης αυτού θέλει περιπλανάσθαι.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 5:22 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter VII)

    … 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 …

  2. Quotes verse 5:16 Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John (Homily VII)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 5:2–4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXIII)

    … "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.

  4. Quotes verse 5:15 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XVI)

    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.

  5. Quotes verse 5:22 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XXXV)

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