Proverbs 5:7-13

7So listen to me, my children. Never forget what I am telling you.

8Keep far away from a woman like that! Do not even go near the door of her house.

9If you go with her, you will lose your honour. A cruel person will rob you of the best years of your life.

10Strangers will take all your money. The good things that you have worked for will belong to someone else.

11At the end of your life, you will weep with pain. Your body will be sick and weak.

12You will say, ‘I should have listened when people warned me that I was doing bad things.

13I did not listen to my teachers. I refused to obey them.
