The words of an immoral woman may be as sweet as honey and as smooth as olive oil. But all that you really get from being with her is bitter poison and pain. Proverbs 5:3-4(cev)

Chapter 5 deals mainly with the topic of adultery. Solomon makes a good point that applies to both men and women; beware of seduction. It is an easy trap to fall into and the repercussions are far reaching. It doesn’t matter if you are the seducer or the seduced. A moment of pleasure destroys families, careers, reputations and sometimes, life itself. I won’t comment on our society and its moral consciousness, but careful consideration of chapter 5 shows that it is all true. Adultery will disrupt your world.
