Proverbs 5:6-21

61She does not ponder the 2path of life; Her ways are 3unstable, she 4does not know it.

75Now then, my sons, listen to me And 6do not depart from the words of my mouth.87Keep your way far from her And do not go near the 8door of her house,9Or you will give your vigor to others And your years to the cruel one;10And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned goods will go to the house of an alien;11And you groan at your 9final end, When your flesh and your body are consumed;12And you say, “How I have 10hated instruction! And my heart 11spurned reproof!13I have not listened to the voice of my 12teachers, Nor inclined my ear to my instructors!14I was almost in utter ruin In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”

15Drink water from your own cistern And 13fresh water from your own well.16Should your 14springs be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets?17Let them be yours alone And not for strangers with you.18Let your 15fountain be blessed, And 16rejoice in the 17wife of your youth.19As a loving 18hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be 19exhilarated always with her love.20For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an 2021adulteress And embrace the bosom of a 22foreigner?21For the 23ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He 24watches all his paths.
