New Testament

Proverbs 5:12-21 New Century Version (NCV)

12. Then you will say, “I hated being told what to do!I would not listen to correction!

13. I would not listen to my teachersor pay attention to my instructors.

14. I came close to being completely ruinedin front of a whole group of people.”

15. Be faithful to your own wife,just as you drink water from your own well.

16. Don’t pour your water in the streets;don’t give your love to just any woman.

17. These things are yours aloneand shouldn’t be shared with strangers.

18. Be happy with the wife you married when you were young.She gives you joy, as your fountain gives you water.

19. She is as lovely and graceful as a deer.Let her love always make you happy;let her love always hold you captive.

20. My son, don’t be held captive by a woman who takes part in adultery.Don’t fondle a woman who is not your wife.

21. The Lord sees everything you do,and he watches where you go.
