Consequences of Following the Adulteress

Proverbs 5:7-14

Now therefore, mysons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.

Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;

Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;

Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,

And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.
