Proverbs 4 Acquire wisdom, avoid bad company and watch yourself.
Wisdom
provides many benefits: watch care and honor(vv.1-9); guidance in the way of
righteousness(vv.10-19); and life, health, and integrity(vv.20-27). The first
step in acquiring wisdom is to make up your mind that you you want it and will
strive to obtain it.(v.7). Wisdom’s way is straight and level in contrast to
the crooked and cluttered way of folly.(v.12) The wicked are unable to sleep
because the day has passed without an opportunity to obtain gain from an act of
violence.(v.16). Though the righteous walk in increasing light, the wicked walk
in darkness. Full light of day (v.18). Lit.,” standing firm of day” the noon
time, when the sun is directly overhead and appears stationary. Verse 23
heart.I.e., mind or inner being. Wellspring of life. Lit., outgoings of life.,
spiritual vitality.
Proverbs 4 (KJV)

¹ Hear, ye children, the instruction of a
father, and attend to know understanding.
² For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not
my law.
³ For I was my father's son, tender and only
beloved in the sight of my mother.
⁴ He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine
heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
⁵ Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not;
neither decline from the words of my mouth.
⁶ Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee:
love her, and she shall keep thee.
⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get
wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
⁸ Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she
shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
⁹ She shall give to thine head an ornament of
grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
¹⁰ Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and
the years of thy life shall be many.
¹¹ I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I
have led thee in right paths.
¹² When thou goest, thy steps shall not be
straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
¹³ Take fast hold of instruction; let her not
go: keep her; for she is thy life.
¹⁴ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go
not in the way of evil men.
¹⁵ Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and
pass away.
¹⁶ For they sleep not, except they have done
mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
¹⁷ For they eat the bread of wickedness, and
drink the wine of violence.
¹⁹ The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
²⁰ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
²¹ Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
²² For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
²⁴ Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
²⁵ Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
²⁶ Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
²⁷ Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.

¹ 眾子啊，要聽父親的教訓，留心得知聰明。
² 因我所給你們的是好道理；不可離棄我的法則。
³ 我在父親面前為孝子，在母親眼中為獨一的嬌兒。
⁴ 父親教訓我說：你心要存記我的言語，遵守我的命令，便得存活。
⁵ 要得智慧，要得聰明，不可忘記，也不可偏離我口中的言語。
⁶ 不可離棄智慧，智慧就護衛你；要愛她，她就保守你。
⁷ 智慧為首；所以，要得智慧。用你一切所得的去換聰明。
⁸ 高舉智慧，她就使你高升；懷抱智慧，她就使你尊榮。
⁹ 她必將妝飾加在你頭上；把榮冕交給你。
¹⁰ 我兒啊，你要聽受我的言語，就必延年益壽。
¹¹ 我已指教你走智慧的道，引導你行正確的路。
¹² 你行走，腳步必不致狹窄；你奔跑，也不致跌倒。
¹³ 要持定訓誨，不可放鬆；必當謹守，因為她是你的生命。
¹⁴ 不可行惡人的路；不要走壞人的道。
¹⁵ 要躲避，不可經過；要轉身而去。
¹⁶ 這等人若不行惡，不得睡覺；不使人跌倒，睡臥不安；
¹⁷ 因為他們以奸惡吃餅，以強暴喝酒。
¹⁸ 但義人的路好像照耀的光，越照越明，直到完全之日。
¹⁹ 惡人的道好像幽暗，自己不知因甚麼跌倒。
²⁰ 我兒，要留心聽我的言詞，側耳聽我的話語，
²¹ 都不可離你的眼目，要存記在你心中。
²² 因為得著它們的，就得了生命，又得了醫全體的良藥。
²³ 你要切切保守你心，因為一生的果效是由心發出。
²⁴ 你要除掉邪僻的口，棄絕乖謬的嘴。
²⁵ 你的眼目要向前正看；你的眼皮當向前直觀。
²⁶ 要衡量你腳下的路，堅定你一切的道。
²⁷ 不可偏向左右；要使你的腳離開邪惡。
Proverbs 5 Forsake lust and avoid adulteress
Wisdom help guard against the adulteress. Gall
(v.4) the height of bitterness. The adulteress may appear sweet, but in realitt she is exceedingly bitter. Her steps lead to death, and those who associate
with her meet a like fate.
Verses
7-23,this section warns of the consequences of marital infidelity and points to
the delights of a faithful marriage in contrast to its pathetic alternative. Of
utter ruin (v.14). The adulterer nearly lost his life as punishment for his sin
(Deut.22:22).
Verse 15 is
the figurative language here refers to marital intercourse. The main point is
to find contentment with your lawful wife. Verse 16 is the idea is should you
beget children by an adulteress, a woman of the street? Springs. A reference to
one’s children.
In verses
18-19 the wise teacher presents a healthy view of sex. His counsel is to enjoy
the delight of God-given sex only in marriage. The wicked will die for his
failure to heed divine instruction.(v.23).
Proverbs 5 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine
ear to my understanding:
² That thou mayest regard discretion, and that
thy lips may keep knowledge.
³ For the lips of a strange woman drop as an
honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
⁴ But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a
two edged sword.
⁵ Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold
on hell.
⁶ Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life,
her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
⁷ Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and
depart not from the words of my mouth.
⁸ Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh
the door of her house:
⁹ Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and
thy years unto the cruel:
¹⁰ Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and
thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
¹¹ And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh
and thy body are consumed,
¹² And say, How have I hated instruction, and my
heart despised reproof;
¹³ And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
¹⁴ I was almost in all evil in the midst of the
congregation and assembly.
¹⁵ Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and
running waters out of thine own well.
¹⁶ Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and
rivers of waters in the streets.
¹⁷ Let them be only thine own, and not
strangers' with thee.

¹⁹ Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
²⁰ And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
²¹ For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
²² His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
²³ He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
箴 5 (CKJVGT)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ 我兒，要留心我智慧的話語，側耳聽我聰明的言詞，
² 為要使你謹守謀略，嘴唇保守知識。
³ 因為外女的嘴滴下蜂蜜；她的口比油更滑，
⁴ 至終卻苦似茵蔯，快如兩刃的刀。
⁵ 她的腳下入死地；她腳步踏住地獄。
⁶ 免得你衡量生命的道；她的路變遷不定，你不能知道。
⁷ 眾子啊，現在要聽從我；不可離棄我口中的話。
⁸ 你所行的道要離她遠，不可就近她的房門，
⁹ 恐怕將你的尊榮給別人，將你的歲月給殘忍的人；
¹⁰ 恐怕外人滿得你的財物，你勞碌得來的，歸入外人的家；
¹¹ 終久，你皮肉和身體消毀，你就悲歎，
¹² 說：我怎麼恨惡訓誨，心中藐視責備，
¹³ 也不聽從我師傅的話，又不側耳聽那教訓我的人！
¹⁴ 我在聖會裏，幾乎落在諸般惡中。
¹⁵ 你要喝自己池中的水，飲自己井裏的活水。
¹⁶ 你的泉源應當漲溢在外，你的河水也當流在街上。
¹⁷ 唯獨歸你一人，不可與外人同用。
¹⁸ 要使你的泉源蒙福；要與你幼年所娶的妻同樂。
¹⁹ 要使她如可愛的獐鹿，可喜的母鹿；願她的兩乳使你時時知足，她的愛情使你常常戀慕。
²⁰ 我兒，你為何戀慕外女？為何抱外人的胸懷？
²¹ 因為，人所行的道都在 耶和華眼前；他也衡量人一切的路。
²² 惡人必被自己的罪孽捉住；他必被自己的罪惡如繩索纏繞。
²³ 他因不受訓誨就必死亡；又因愚昧過甚，必走差了路。
