Proverbios 5
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Advertencias sobre la mujer extraña
5 Hijo mío, presta atención(A) a mi sabiduría,
Inclina tu oído(B) a mi prudencia,
2 Para que guardes la discreción(C)
Y tus labios conserven el conocimiento(D).
3 Porque los labios de la extraña(E) destilan miel(F),
Y su lengua[a] es más suave que el aceite(G);
4 Pero al final es amarga como el ajenjo(H),
Aguda como espada de dos filos(I).
5 Sus pies descienden a la muerte,
Sus pasos solo logran el Seol(J).
6 No considera[b] la senda de la vida(K);
Sus senderos son inestables(L), y no lo sabe(M).
7 ¶Ahora pues, hijos míos, escúchenme,
Y no se aparten(N) de las palabras de mi boca(O).
8 Aleja de la extraña tu camino(P),
Y no te acerques a la puerta de su casa(Q);
9 No sea que des tu vigor a otros
Y tus años al cruel;
10 No sea que se sacien los extraños de tus bienes[c]
Y tu esfuerzo vaya a casa del extranjero;
11 Y al final te lamentes,
Cuando tu carne y tu cuerpo se hayan consumido,
12 Y digas: «¡Cómo he aborrecido la instrucción(R),
Y mi corazón ha despreciado la corrección(S)!
13 -»No he escuchado la voz de mis maestros,
Ni he inclinado mi oído a mis instructores(T).
14 -»He estado a punto de completa ruina
En medio de la asamblea y la congregación».
15 ¶Bebe agua de tu cisterna
Y agua fresca[d] de tu pozo.
16 ¿Se derramarán por fuera tus manantiales(U),
Tus arroyos de aguas por las calles?
17 Sean para ti solo,
Y no para los extraños contigo.
18 Sea bendita tu fuente(V),
Y regocíjate(W) con la mujer de tu juventud(X),
19 Amante cierva y graciosa gacela(Y);
Que sus senos te satisfagan en todo tiempo,
Su amor te embriague para siempre.
20 ¿Por qué has de embriagarte, hijo mío, con una extraña(Z),
Y abrazar el seno de una desconocida[e](AA)?
21 Pues los caminos del hombre están delante de los ojos del Señor(AB),
Y Él observa todos sus senderos(AC).
22 De sus propias iniquidades será presa el impío,
Y en los lazos de su pecado quedará atrapado(AD).
23 Morirá por falta de instrucción(AE),
Y por su mucha necedad perecerá.
Proverbs 5
New International Version
Warning Against Adultery
5 My son,(A) pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words(B) of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(C)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(D)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(E)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(F)
7 Now then, my sons, listen(G) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(H)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(I)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(J)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(K)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(L)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(M) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(N)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(O)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

Proverbs 5
King James Version
5 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.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
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.
