Proverbs 7:6-10; 24-27 the young man lack common sense, ⁸’⁹ walking at twilight down the street to the house of this wayward girl, a prostitute. ¹⁰ She approached him, seductively dressed and sly of heart. She is seen often in streets and markets, soliciting at every corner for men to be her Lover.
²⁴ Listen to me, young men, and not only listen but obey; ²⁵ don’t let your desires get out of hand, don’t let yourself think about her. Don’t go near her, stay away from where she walks, lest she tempt you and seduce you. ²⁶ For she has been the ruin of many; a vast host of men have been her victims. ²⁷ Her House is the road to grave and hell, her bedroom is the den of death.
Beware! May God help us and give us the strength to overcome all temptations in Life. Amen.
