Proverbs 7:1-5,8,9,24-27 Follow my advice my son; always keep it in mind and stick to it. ² Obey Me and live! Guard my words as your most precious possession. ³ Write them down and also keep them deep within your heart. ⁴ Love wisdom like a sweetheart; make her a beloved member of your family. ⁵ Let her hold you back from visiting a prostitute, from listening to her flattery.
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 multitudes- a vast host of men have been her victims. ²⁷ If you want to find the road to hell, look for her house. TLBV
