Continuing on from my Part 4 post with the Book of Proverbs written by King Solomon the son of King David... Most people have heard of the name 'King Solomon' and quite rightly too. The bible tells us he was at the time (I don't know if it still applies today) the wisest among all men, "And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five."
1 Kings 4:32
Pitfalls of Immorality
3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey
And smoother than oil is her speech;
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 take hold of Sheol.
6 She does not ponder the path of life;
Her ways are unstable, she does not know it.
7 Now then, my sons, listen to me
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep your way far from her
And do not go near the door of her house,
9 Or you will give your vigor to others
And your years to the cruel one.
Pro 5:3-9
Proverbs of King Solomon
'The Lord sees everything you do. Wherever you go, he is watching.'
Pro 5:21
'For the upright will live in the land
And the blameless will remain in it'
Pro 2:21
'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 Son, why should you give your love to another woman? Why should you prefer the charms of another man's wife?'
Pro 5:18-20
My own
'Prudent planning softens the road ahead'
'Why hesitate when you do not know how long you have left?'
'Unconditional forgiveness plants the seed of friendship'

A lover from youth,
Two souls communion - proof.
Pure, undefiled.
