  • Prov 5:3-9 : 3 For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil. 4 But in the end, she is as bitter as wormwood, sharp as a double-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave. 6 She does not consider the path of life; her ways wander, but she does not know it. 7 Now, my children, listen to me, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 8 Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house. 9 Lest you give your vigor to others, and your years to someone cruel; 10 Lest strangers feast on your strength, and your hard-earned wealth end up in the house of a foreigner. 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, and my heart despised correction!' 13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors. 14 I was on the verge of total ruin in the midst of the assembly and the congregation. 15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, your streams of water in the public squares? 17 Let them be yours alone, and not for strangers with you. 18 May your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19 A loving doe, a graceful deer—may her breasts satisfy you always, and may you always be captivated by her love. 20 Why, my son, should you be captivated by a forbidden woman or embrace the bosom of a stranger? 21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and He examines all his paths. 22 The wicked will be caught by his own iniquities, and he will be held fast by the cords of his sin. 23 He will die for lack of discipline, and in the abundance of his folly, he will go astray.
