Proverbs 5:9-11

⁹lest you give your honor to others, and your years to the cruel one;

¹⁰lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich another man’s house.

¹¹You will groan at your latter end, when your flesh and your body are consumed,

Proverbs 5 is a father’s urgent warning to his son about the seductive danger of the “forbidden woman” — the adulteress whose words are smooth as honey but whose end is bitter as wormwood. The chapter contrasts the fleeting pleasure of illicit intimacy with the lasting satisfaction
