Text -- Proverbs 5:10-23 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
5:10 lest strangers devour your strength , and your labor benefit another man’s house .
5:11 And at the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are wasted away .
5:12 And you will say , “How I hated discipline ! My heart spurned reproof !
5:13 For I did not obey my teachers and I did not heed my instructors .
5:14 I almost came to complete ruin in the midst of the whole congregation !”
5:15 Drink water from your own cistern and running water from your own well .
5:16 Should your springs be dispersed outside , your streams of water in the wide plazas ?
5:17 Let them be for yourself alone , and not for strangers with you.
5:18 May your fountain be blessed , and may you rejoice in your young wife –
5:19 a loving doe , a graceful deer ; may her breasts satisfy you at all times , may you be captivated by her love always .
5:20 But why should you be captivated , my son , by an adulteress , and embrace the bosom of a different woman ?
5:21 For the ways of a person are in front of the Lord’s eyes , and the Lord weighs all that person’s paths .
5:22 The wicked will be captured by his own iniquities , and he will be held by the cords of his own sin .
5:23 He will die because there was no discipline ; because of the greatness of his folly he will reel .
