Proverbs 5

Nothing but Sin and Bones

5Dear friend, pay close attention to this, my wisdom; listen very closely to the way I see it.H1121H7181H2451H5186H241H83942Then you'll acquire a taste for good sense; what I tell you will keep you out of trouble.H8104H4209H8193H5341H18473The lips of a seductive woman are oh so sweet, her soft words are oh so smooth.H8193H2114H5197H5317H2441H2509H80814But it won't be long before she's gravel in your mouth, a pain in your gut, a wound in your heart.H319H4751H3939H2299H6310H27195She's dancing down the primrose path to Death; she's headed straight for Hell and taking you with her.H7272H3381H4194H6806H8551H75856She hasn't a clue about Real Life, about who she is or where she's going.H6424H734H2416H4570H5128H30457So, my friend, listen closely; don't treat my words casually.H8085H1121H5493H561H63108Keep your distance from such a woman; absolutely stay out of her neighborhood.H7368H1870H7368H7126H6607H10049You don't want to squander your wonderful life, to waste your precious life among the hardhearted.H5414H1935H312H8141H39410Why should you allow strangers to take advantage of you? Why be exploited by those who care nothing for you?H2114H7646H3581H6089H1004H523711You don't want to end your life full of regrets, nothing but sin and bones,H5098H319H1320H7607H361512Saying, "Oh, why didn't I do what they told me? Why did I reject a disciplined life?H559H8130H4148H3820H5006H843313Why didn't I listen to my mentors, or take my teachers seriously?H8085H6963H3384H5186H241H392514My life is ruined! I haven't one blessed thing to show for my life!"H4592H7451H8432H6951H5712

Never Take Love for Granted

15Do you know the saying, "Drink from your own rain barrel, draw water from your own spring-fed well"?H8354H4325H953H5140H8432H87516It's true. Otherwise, you may one day come home and find your barrel empty and your well polluted.H4599H6327H2351H6388H4325H733917Your spring water is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers.H211418Bless your fresh-flowing fountain! Enjoy the wife you married as a young man!H4726H1288H8055H802H527119Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose— don't ever quit taking delight in her body. Never take her love for granted!H158H365H2580H3280H1717H7301H6256H7686H8548H16020Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a whore? for dalliance with a promiscuous stranger?H1121H7686H2114H2263H2436H523721Mark well that GOD doesn't miss a move you make; he's aware of every step you take.H1870H376H5227H5869H3068H6424H457022The shadow of your sin will overtake you; you'll find yourself stumbling all over yourself in the dark.H5771H3920H7563H8551H2256H240323Death is the reward of an undisciplined life; your foolish decisions trap you in a dead end.H4191H4148H7230H200H7686

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
