Sexual Immorality: Hope for the Broken

Proverbs 5:1–5 (Listen)
Warning Against Adultery

5:1   My son, be attentive to my wisdom;
    incline your ear to my understanding,
2   that you may keep discretion,
    and your lips may guard knowledge.
3   For the lips of a forbidden1 woman drip honey,
    and her speech2 is smoother than oil,
4   but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
    sharp as a two-edged sword.
5   Her feet go down to death;
    her steps follow the path to3 Sheol;
