Proverbs 5 is a severe warning against getting involved with sexual immorality and adultery. Says the writer that from the lips of an adulteress drip honey and she is a very smooth talker, but things end up very bitter cutting like a sword and ending in death and the grave. The writer exhorts his son to steer well clear of such women because if you follow such women you will groan at the end of your life. Drink water from your own cistern, he says! "May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth... may her breasts satisfy you always and may you ever be captivated by her love. Don't get involved with another man's wife because you will die for lack of discipline!"
