Day 5 – YAY!!!  FIVE days in a ROW ~*~  Chair Dance

Below is the fifth proverb from the King James bible (I am still not a christian … nor any other “religion”  and now on with today’s reading / and my thoughts … TMI to most, tell me more to a few … this is for them … and if you are still reading ~ welcome ~ 

Note for you before reading; what I write is hard to read because I usually write as it flows – and when I start second guessing … well, suffice it to say, this … heck … nothing would ever get written …  :-)

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 twoedged 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.

OK – Copy/pasting the proverb again and changing it to what I feel it is saying   YAY!!!

1 - Be present and hear what I say to know what I mean.
2 -                  That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may keep knowledge.

… then off I went into Google land again … and WAH-LA!!!!!!  Nope – still not a Christian – but REALLY like this site   Well, from reading the Proverbs anyway   Sorry King James but I’m switching to New Living Translation

Proverbs 5

Avoid Immoral Women
1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;  listen carefully to my wise counsel.
2 Then you will show discernment,  and your lips will express what you’ve learned.
3 For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,  and her mouth is smoother than oil.
4 But in the end she is as bitter as poison,  as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;  her steps lead straight to the grave.*
6 For she cares nothing about the path to life.  She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.

I think this may go deeper than *immoral women*  … verse 2 … your lips will express what you have learned … verse 3 … the lips of an immoral woman … (the lips stay the same – but what is the opposite of wise (moral?) man?  … an immoral woman. ) … I’m just sayin … maybe?  immoral woman = hmmm … what ever fill in the blank would be – it could really change the meanings of future proverbs to be read

7 So now, my sons, listen to me.  Never stray from what I am about to say:
8 Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house!
9 If you do, you will lose your honor  and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.
10 Strangers will consume your wealth,  and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.
11 In the end you will groan in anguish  when disease consumes your body.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!  If only I had not ignored all the warnings!
13 Oh, why didn’t I listen to my teachers?  Why didn’t I pay attention to my instructors?
14 I have come to the brink of utter ruin,  and now I must face public disgrace.”

15 Drink water from your own well—  share your love only with your wife.
16 Why spill the water of your springs in the streets,  having sex with just anyone?*
17 You should reserve it for yourselves.  Never share it with strangers.

18 Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.  Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
19 She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.  Let her breasts satisfy you always.  May you always be captivated by her love.
20 Why be captivated, my son, by an immoral woman,  or fondle the breasts of a promiscuous woman?

21 For the LORD sees clearly what a man does,  examining every path he takes.
22 An evil man is held captive by his own sins; they are ropes that catch and hold him.
23 He will die for lack of self-control; he will be lost because of his great foolishness.

OK – maybe it is about watching out for immoral *people*    much better  (-:

Whew!!!  Today’s proverb has me with about 100 new bookmarks … great …

(-: re-reading this … I want to stress, being *fickle* does not immorality make

… great … I tell you I write as the words come, then nothing comes as I read the above verses.
