Proverbs 5:11-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. You will groan at the end of your life.Then your health will be gone.

12. Then you will say, “I hated self-control!I would not listen when I was corrected!

13. I would not listen to my teachers.I paid no attention to what they taught me.

14. I have come very close to being completely ruinedin front of a whole group of people.”

15. Be faithful to your own wife.She is like your own well of water from which you drink.

16. You wouldn’t drink from streamsflowing in the city streets or squares.So be satisfied with your wife,not those outside your home.

17. These things are yours alone.Don’t share them with strangers.
