Men, always avoid women with little or no principles. My son, pay attention to my wisdom; lend your ear to my understanding, that you may preserve discretion, and your lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of hell. Lest you ponder her path of life--Her ways are unstable; you do not know them. Young men and old men alike should use wisdom in dating and choosing a woman for marriage. So many things have changed in this society in which we live.
A husband should always be focused on his wife's affections. Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times; and always be enraptured with her love. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, and be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
The Living Bible puts it this way:
Drink from your own well, my son—be faithful and true to your wife. Why should you beget children with women of the street? Why share your children with those outside your home? Be happy, yes, rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her breasts and tender embrace satisfy you. Let her love alone fill you with delight. Why delight yourself with prostitutes, embracing what isn’t yours? For God is closely watching you, and he weighs carefully everything you do.
Sadly, today's world all too often equates lust with love. Learn to identify what is lust and what is love and its source and you will be strong and in right standing with the Father.
