Proverbs 5 Clementine Vulgate
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 [Fili mi, attende ad sapientiam meam, et prudentiæ meæ inclina aurem tuam:
1 HIJO mío, está atento á mi sabiduría, y á mi inteligencia inclina tu oído;
2 ut custodias cogitationes, et disciplinam labia tua conservent. Ne attendas fallaciæ mulieris;
2 Para que guardes consejo, y tus labios conserven la ciencia.
3 favus enim distillans labia meretricis, et nitidius oleo guttur ejus:
3 Porque los labios de la extraña destilan miel, y su paladar es más blando que el aceite:
4 novissima autem illius amara quasi absinthium, et acuta quasi gladius biceps.
4 Mas su fin es amargo como el ajenjo, agudo como cuchillo de dos filos.
5 Pedes ejus descendunt in mortem, et ad inferos gressus illius penetrant.
5 Sus pies descienden á la muerte; sus pasos sustentan el sepulcro:
6 Per semitam vitæ non ambulant; vagi sunt gressus ejus et investigabiles.
6 Sus caminos son instables; no [los] conocerás, si no considerares el camino de vida.
7 Nunc ergo fili mi, audi me, et ne recedas a verbis oris mei.
7 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y no os apartéis de las razones de mi boca.
8 Longe fac ab ea viam tuam, et ne appropinques foribus domus ejus.
8 Aleja de ella tu camino, y no te acerques á la puerta de su casa;
9 Ne des alienis honorem tuum, et annos tuos crudeli:
9 Porque no des á los extraños tu honor, y tus años á cruel;
10 ne forte implentur extranei viribus tuis, et labores tui sint in domo aliena,
10 Porque no se harten los extraños de tu fuerza, y tus trabajos [estén] en casa del extraño;
11 et gemas in novissimis, quando consumpseris carnes tuas et corpus tuum, et dicas:
11 Y gimas en tus postrimerías, cuando se consumiere tu carne y tu cuerpo,
12 Cur detestatus sum disciplinam, et increpationibus non acquievit cor meum,
12 Y digas: ¡Cómo aborrecí el consejo, y mi corazón menospreció la reprensión;
13 nec audivi vocem docentium me, et magistris non inclinavi aurem meam?
13 Y no oí la voz de los que me adoctrinaban, y á los que me enseñaban no incliné mi oído!
14 pene fui in omni malo, in medio ecclesiæ et synagogæ.
14 Casi en todo mal he estado, en medio de la sociedad y de la congregación.
15 Bibe aquam de cisterna tua, et fluenta putei tui;
15 Bebe el agua de tu cisterna, y los raudales de tu pozo.
16 deriventur fontes tui foras, et in plateis aquas tuas divide.
16 Derrámense por de fuera tus fuentes, en las plazas los ríos de aguas.
17 Habeto eas solus, nec sint alieni participes tui.
17 Sean para ti solo, y no para los extraños contigo.
18 Sit vena tua benedicta, et lætare cum muliere adolescentiæ tuæ.
18 Sea bendito tu manantial; y alégrate con la mujer de tu mocedad.
19 Cerva carissima, et gratissimus hinnulus: ubera ejus inebrient te in omni tempore; in amore ejus delectare jugiter.
19 [Como] cierva amada y graciosa corza, sus pechos te satisfagan en todo tiempo; y en su amor recréate siempre.
20 Quare seduceris, fili mi, ab aliena, et foveris in sinu alterius?
20 ¿Y por qué, hijo mío, andarás ciego con la ajena, y abrazarás el seno de la extraña?
21 Respicit Dominus vias hominis, et omnes gressus ejus considerat.
21 Pues que los caminos del hombre están ante los ojos de Jehová, y él considera todas sus veredas.
22 Iniquitates suas capiunt impium, et funibus peccatorum suorum constringitur.
22 Prenderán al impío sus propias iniquidades, y detenido será con las cuerdas de su pecado.
23 Ipse morietur, quia non habuit disciplinam, et in multitudine stultitiæ suæ decipietur.]
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.
