Proverbs 5:11-20 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

11. When it's all over,your body will waste away,as you groan

12. and shout,“I hated advice and correction!

13. I paid no attentionto my teachers,

14. and now I am disgracedin front of everyone.”

15. You should be faithfulto your wife,just as you take waterfrom your own well.

16. And don't be like a streamfrom which just any womanmay take a drink.

17. Save yourself for your wifeand don't have sexwith other women.

18. Be happy with the wifeyou marriedwhen you were young.

19. She is beautiful and graceful,just like a deer;you should be attracted to herand stay deeply in love.

20. Don't go mad over a womanwho is unfaithfulto her own husband!
