Proverbs Capítulo 5

Solomon once again asks for your full attention — he's about to share something that could save you from deep heartache. Lean in close; this matters.

The goal isn't just to hear wisdom but to let it shape your lips — so that what you speak reflects the discretion you've gained. Wisdom should flavor your very words.

Temptation's words drip like honey — sweet, smooth, and irresistible to the ear. But sweetness on the tongue doesn't guarantee sweetness in the end.

What starts sweet turns bitter as wormwood and sharp as a blade — the aftertaste of sin is always the opposite of its entrance. Remember the ending when the beginning tempts you.

Her feet lead straight down to death — this isn't a detour, it's a destination. The path of temptation has a direction, and it doesn't lead anywhere you want to go.

She doesn't even think about the path of life — her ways are unstable and unknowable. Sin blinds you to the good road while making the bad one look like the only option.

Now listen carefully and don't wander off — Solomon is pleading. When someone who loves you says 'don't leave this path,' it's because they've seen where the other ones lead.

Keep your distance — don't even go near the door. Sometimes the smartest boundary is physical distance. You can't fall into a trap you never approach.

Sin costs you your honor and your best years — it hands over what's precious to those who don't care about you. The price tag is always higher than advertised.

Your hard-earned resources can end up benefiting strangers — sin has a way of draining your wealth into empty places. What you built with care can be lost through careless choices.

Regret at the end is one of life's heaviest burdens — mourning over what could have been. Wisdom invites you to consider the end while you're still at the beginning.

The lament of regret sounds like this: 'I hated correction and despised being told I was wrong.' Pride today becomes tomorrow's deepest sorrow.

I didn't listen to those who tried to teach me — a confession born too late. The teachers were there, the warnings were given, but ears were closed. Don't let that be your story.

I was almost entirely consumed by evil, right in the middle of the community — private sin has a way of becoming public devastation. What hides in the dark eventually surfaces.

Drink from your own well — find satisfaction in what God has given you. Contentment in your own life and relationships is a gift worth cultivating.

Let your blessings flow freely — don't hoard what God has given you. Generosity within proper boundaries is a sign of a healthy, flourishing life.

Some things are meant to be yours alone — your intimacy, your loyalty, your deepest commitments. Not everything should be shared; some treasures are for keeping.

Rejoice in the wife of your youth — let your fountain be blessed. God designed love and marriage to be a source of deep joy. Celebrate what He's given you.

Be captivated by her love always — God invites you to a love that is satisfying and intoxicating in the best way. True love is meant to be all-consuming and deeply fulfilling.

Why would you be captivated by a stranger when you have love at home? The question hangs in the air — because the answer never makes sense in the light of truth.

All your ways are before the Lord — He sees everything. This isn't meant to scare you but to comfort you: nothing escapes His notice, and nothing is beyond His care.

Sin has a way of tying you up in its own cords — the very things you thought would free you become the ropes that bind you. Iniquity traps the one who practices it.

He dies for lack of discipline, led astray by his own folly. It's a tragic end that didn't have to happen — wisdom was available, but the heart refused it.
