Good News Bible

Proverbs 5:13-20 Good News Bible (GNB)

13. I wouldn't listen to my teachers. I paid no attention to them.

14. And suddenly I found myself publicly disgraced.”

15. Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone.

16. Children that you have by other women will do you no good.

17. Your children should grow up to help you, not strangers.

18. So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the woman you married —

19. pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love.

20. Why should you give your love to another woman, my son? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife?
