  • Prov 5:4-9 : 4 But at the laste she is as bitter as wormewood, and as sharpe as a two edged sworde. 5 Her feete go downe vnto death, and her steppes pearce thorowe vnto hell. 6 Perchaunce thou wylt ponder the path of her lyfe: so vnstedfast are her wayes that thou canst not know them. 7 Heare me nowe therefore O ye chyldren, and depart not from the wordes of my mouth. 8 Kepe thy way farre from her, & come not nigh the doores of her house. 9 That thou geue not thy honour vnto other, and thy yeres to the cruell: 10 That other men be not filled with thy vertues, and that thy labours come not in a straunge house. 11 Yea, that thou mourne not at the last, when thou hast spent thy bodye and lustie youth, and then say: 12 Alas, why hated I nurture? why did my heart dispise correction? 13 Wherefore was not I obedient vnto the voyce of my teachers, and hearkened not vnto them that enfourmed me? 14 I was come almost into all misfortune, in the middest of the multitude and congregation.
  • Prov 6:26-35 : 26 By an harlot a man is brought to beg his bread, and a woman wyll hunte for the pretious life of man. 27 May a man take fire in his bosome, and his clothes not be brent? 28 Or can one go vpon hotte coales, and his feete not be brent? 29 Euen so, whosoeuer goeth in to his neyghbours wife and toucheth her, can not be vngiltie. 30 Men do not vtterly despise a thiefe that stealeth to satisfie his soule, when he is hungrie: 31 But if he may be gotten, he restoreth agayne seuen tymes as muche, or els he maketh recompence with all the good of his house. 32 But whoso committeth adultrie with a woman, lacketh vnderstanding: and he that doth it, destroyeth his owne soule. 33 He getteth him selfe a plague and dishonour, and his reproche shall neuer be put out: 34 For the ielousie and wrath of the man wyll not be entreated, 35 No though thou wouldest offer hym great gyftes to make amendes, he wyll not receaue them.
