Proverbs 7:24–25

⁷Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

¹HEAR, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.

¹MY little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

¹⁹My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,

³²Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.

³³Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.

¹⁴I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

¹⁵For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

⁸Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

⁶All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

²⁸But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

³¹Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

³²At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

³³Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.

¹⁴¶ Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

¹⁵Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

²³He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

¹⁷⁶I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
