Guidance & Direction Verses

Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

{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. {satisfy...: Heb. water thee} {be thou...: Heb. err thou always in her love}

For the ways of man {are} before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

For the commandment {is} a lamp; and the law {is} light; and reproofs of instruction {are} the way of life: {lamp: or, candle}

A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,

He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; {straightway: Heb. suddenly}

Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.

Her house {is} the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
