Proverbs 5:8

Contemporary English Version 1995

Stay away from a bad woman! Don't even go near the door of her house.

See the chapter Copy

Don't even think about that kind of woman or let yourself be misled by someone like her.

Don't take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are.

Keep us from being tempted and protect us from evil.

Turn aside and keep going. Stay away from them.

You will lose your self-respect and end up in debt to some cruel person for the rest of your life.

She sits in front of her house and on the highest hills in the town.

Don't follow the bad example of cruel and evil people.

It was late in the evening, sometime after dark.
